If the tire is narrow enough, there shouldn't be too much rubbing if it is needed up front. Full steering lock may be a issue.

Since I would be driving as described above, I'd save a few bucks and get a cheaper tire. Why buy a PSS for a spare?
Agreed, I was thinking about buying the cheapest possible skinniest possible spare that would fit the brakes.
