I replied with the same amount of disagree that you did in your first reply so If I'm being a dick, you were being a dick.
Also, I'd check your rear tires or for some extra lead in your shoes because you shouldn't be breaking 275's loose accidentally with the amount of power you have.
Also, its better to have the spare up front for braking. You can control how fast you take turn and how much throttle you apply, but you can't control how much braking you have available so keep the big meat upfront when you have to have a spare.

I was saying that everyone was talking wheel well and the differences in dimensions of 17s, 18s, 20s, and the spare when the OP was asking about whether or not to keep a spare tire.
Also, anyone with the Race tune and 4.10s will tell you its not hard to break the rears loose, especially when the 20s I have weigh the same as my stock 17s. Then again, what do I know; I only drive the thing.

Grow up.
To the OP, it's really up to you. Some people will complain about tire sealant but on my car if I puncture a tire, I'm going to be replacing it so it's a non existant issue. The only time you really don't need it is if A) your running an all around big break kit or B) your trying to shave some weight. Take it for what it's worth!

But the question is, did she know that? Or did it just "break down"

Here are the initial statements I made in this thread when I was trying to be helpful.
