The spare wheel hepls to minimize damage in a rear ender accident... But now there are new tyres that are being made and are already on some BMW's, Lexus and on the new Mini Cooper S that have tougher sidewalls and some are even solid rubber ... (I hear 1/2 hour non stop burnouts...) This means that you can drive home or to the nearest garage on the flat witout doing damage to the rim... The manufacturers that are releasing cars with foam in a can or these new tyres have to make up for the lost support in the rear in case of an accident... They have to make the cars stronger in the rear end where the spare wheel was... I take it this is the reason why removing a spare wheel is illegal...
