This also may mess up the ABS if you have that too.

Man, that's a good point.  It definitely noticed when I went with a stock-sized spare for a while.

Only ok for 2WD. 

If you try 4WD, even on very loose surfaces, the tires will be constantly slipping because of the different speeds, so you will get no traction improvement at all.
