Why do you need 4 sets of 5, and not 4 sets of 4 with something like an all weather tyre as the spare?
My perspective of a spare is as an insurance policy. Use it when necessary and have the normal wheel or tyre repaired or replaced and put back on the car. Then chuck the spare back in the boot (renew the insurance policy!).
The spare wheel doesn't necessarily need to be the same as any on the car, or even the same size (provided the rolling diameter is correct). My A4 had a 15" standard alloy as spare, though it was sold with 17" BBS's from new.
In fact a lot of manufacturers supply a steel spare, even if it's "full size".
