the outside goes downward  for 3 reasons...........
- lower center of gravity compared to 'outside or hubside upwards'.
- you can make it so the tire valve sticks down through a hole in the
clamshell, so you can check the pressure.
 - you can carry stuff in the spare tire if you want ..........if you're
careful about what you put in there.
