Spare Tire For '22 4 Door 'S'

I think I'll be going the non flat route when I replace the tires. I've seen pictures of a donut spare in back of a seat, which is intriguing, but if the front wheel has to be exchanged with the rear, just to fit, that's a turnoff to me. I've read tire slime is not good for tpms sensors..true? I guess I could also carry plugs and a compressor, but I ran over a curb once and it wiped out my tire, so I think a run flat would also have been trashed. I run winter tires, so I always could have a spare available, I guess. There's a tie down in the back that could be used to secure the tire, somehow. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Bundgy cords or get a roof rack and basket and mount it up there.

Now I wonder if the 15" snows w/wheels from my '17 F55 will fit.
edit: All signs point to "No". Crap.
