Load Rating for Spare Tyre

I have been searching for a steel wheel to replace my skinny for some time. I have finally found a breaker with some wheels with decent tyres, but they are all 91 load rating. These apparently are usual on Bongos arriving from Japan.

As I have 17" alloys with low profile tyres I would not be running the spare for any length of time, just as a get you home. Would one of these 91's be acceptable as a skinny replacement?

anything is better than a skinny. just remember if you unfortunately have to use it, don't go bombing down the road at your usual 80 mph #-o

You could keep your speed up if you kept it on two wheels
