If your tires are different sizes, you don't.........

I don't

I'll probably pick up a spare of each if I can get one and keep them in case I need one.

The delorean was the same way with the exception that the rear wheel would not fit in the luggage compartment! So it was either leave a $500 wheel tire combo or leave a passenger. So DMC created a "luggage rack" lol

Clockwise on the right side, counter-clockwise on the left (anti-clockwise for the Brits).

yeah.. but that would involve removing the rubber from the wheel, flipping them so they rotate in the same direction, remount, rebalanced.. etc It can be done

If you want to be cheap get 225/s all around and you can rotate them front to back.

Thats what I did for the first set and it seemed to work pretty well.
