Really..."much to do about nothing" (IMHO). Having a "flat" with R/F's is completely different from experiencing a "blow-out" where the tire releases from the rim. A "flat" on a R/F can easily be driven for many many miles, at a reduced speed safely. Again, IMHO it's much more dangerous to change a flat tire on the side of the road. Between raising the car safely, securing it from rolling, loosening the often very tight lug nuts, avoid being hit by traffic and lack of experience, my best advice is drive to the nearest location for help. Even if you trash the tire and wheel in the process it's still much safer.
(additionally I would never "butcher" the interior of any car....IF you MUST carry a spare, on the road, then just carry it in the rear and put your suitcases around it...LOL)
