Not sure about the best, it's just personal choice, but on either legshield or rear I think you will need longer studs to fasten the wheel to, I certainly did on my rear one.

I have long cylinder nuts fitted to my carrier studs then a washer, then the spare, then bolts trough from the outside into the long nuts. I've not had the wheel come loose to date. :)

Soz, I should have pointed out that I actually use alan key type bolts on the outside, rather than hex head, so that they seat correctly in the SIP rims.
