Default If you could have a spare tire available, what size 17" or 18"

Installed new run flats this week and have the old tires laying around. I also have my old wagon wheels. Question is, if I made up one spare tire, one of the old GY runflats installed on one of the wagon wheels as a "last resort" spare to use locally which size rim makes sense, 17 or 18 inch. I'm thinking the 18' would keep the same diameter tire on the rear axle and yet still fit on the front in a emergency sitiation. Not planning on hauling this spare around. Just use it if one of the RF's goes down and used until the tire is fixed or replaced.

Your 18 inch rim as that is a drive wheel. On the front they run independent and there's nothing so screw up. 18's will fit on the front for a temporary situation.
