I just got an '05 w/almost all the bells and whistles. 22" wheels, but still has the 17" spare. If I have a flat; aside from poor handling, any problems with driving it a few hundred miles (to get to the tire dealer I want) before get back on the 22"? Thanks.

AWD, 4WD, 2WD?
If you have 2WD, you could put OEM size on the front. Two different size wheels/tires on a drive wheel is never a good idea.

It's the 4WD that can be switched to Auto4WD or 2WD.

Keep it in 2wd and like m3po said, set it up so the spare is on the front. Even if you have a flat rear tire, take a good off of the front and put it in the back.
