I have a software tuner for the truck which lets me install any diameter tire (i.e. oversized) and the speedo is reprogrammed to reflect the correct speed for that diameter.

Installing a spare on the hitch would work, but it would probably only be a matter of time before a cop nails you for obscuring your license plate. You could reposition your plate off to the side, but then you'd have to provide lighting for that as well. 4x4 truck accessory stores probably sell kits for relocation of plates.

Another option is to get a mini spare. BavAuto sells them
Can't get a mini spare. It's an xi. I'll figure something out
