Welcome!!!
On the air filter issue...I use the Xtreme flow unit. It does exactly as you describe. It puts a K&N like flter within the factory airbox. Very easy to install. Give them a call.
On the spare...I went with the exterior spare tire carrier. Not too much trouble to swing away from the rear for access but the wife does complain. I may go with a Gobi down the road as I don't garage my ride. As others say...you have On-Star too!!!
