Lol with a bigger tire it'll look pretty good but with that small, skinny tire on a wheel with stock backspacing it just looks weird.

To be completely honest, I'd keep my spare in the trunk until I got one big enough to look good on that bumper. Just looks plain weird.

Some pics from my new rear hatch setup...
Decided I needed to keep it from flying around when offroad, it also allows me to mount heavier things to the board, doubled up the plywood... plans to have a hi jack and powertank mounted to it with a safari strap to protect rear passengers.
All bolted into the sides of the truck, 2x4 supports w/ heavy gauge hardware.
Doubled plywood, bolted together, rattle canned the wood.
Wrapped the top ply in carpet to match the truck carpet and sub box.
Soft and helps sound deadening
So far no issues, and it keeps the subs from moving around.

yea...in a static state maybe. Factor in you driving or hitting the brakes at 70mph and the force goes WAAAY up ( Force = mass x acceleration). So now your 70lb tire x the standard 15 fpsps deceleration rate = about 1000 lbs flying toward your head. That is not going to be enough to keep that tire in place...
