Did one have to carry two spares in order to have a wheel to mount front if needed, and one to mount rear if needed?  All seems needlessly complicated and a real functional problem.

Not at all-read other emails about hubcaps-different hubcaps required for different model years although some hubcaps would fit the wrong years, but only on the rear becuz the front had the speedo cable end that wouldn't allow the shallower hubcaps to fit on properly.
