Default Rear Hatch wheel w/ cover...opinions

I was looking to create a custom box for speakers from my current atroage area in the cargo area. I had to think about what to do with the spare tire. Then the other day I was driving behind an H2 when it dawned on me. I could create a wheel mount (i.e. Honda CR-V) with a slick looking cover (i.e. Hummer). Any problems? I foresee the weight on the rear hatch may not be able to hold. Other than that I think it could work if done properly. Anyone know of what people have done to gain this space w/out eliminating having the spare if needed.

Looking for some input for this.
Thanks
Barry

That kind of mod is almost impossible to do on doors that open upward like ours do. I mean, you could do it, but how would you hold the door open each time ?? Side opening door might work, though.
