Those running staggered 19s, what do you do about a spare tire (or lack thereof)?
I'm wondering what everyone does about potential flat tires. Since the wheels are staggered, I would need two different full-size spares, right? So do people actually carry full size spares? What about run flat tires, I know lots of performance cars that use run flats to solve this problem, does anyone make high-performance, semi-affordable run-flats in a 265/35/R19 size? Or should I just get some fix-a-flat and make sure my AAA membership is up to date?

The stock rear 17s work for both front and rear axles, and if you follow the specs of the tires, the rolling diameter for the 17s and 19s should be the same. Make sure that you carry the bolts for the stock wheel.
I only have fix-a-flat now though and towing service through my insurance company.
