Spare tire for C5?

I want to get a spare tire for my C5 that will work on the front or rear. I won't carry it with me, so compactness isn't a concern. It can be a full size tire (actually this is preferable so it wouldn't stress the limited slip diff). I just want it to have at home in case I have a blowout or something. I'd then be able to drive the car home and not have to get a tow truck.

Suggestions? Where to buy? What size?

I bought a spare tire for a late model GTO off Ebay (~$100). Haven't used it yet.

I have heard those make great cheap skinnies for the front. I think they are 17x5 and can use the M&H 17" front runner on them.

Thanks... I scooped one up myself for $95 shipped just now.
Should work on the front and back no problem.
