I went with 4 to save some $. with the understanding that If I needed to change a front tire I'd likely need to pull a TRDPro rim from the rear up to the front and put the spare on the Rear to avoid rubbing during turns.
As inscarguy mentions having different tire diameters WILL throw off anything with a computer. You'll probably need to limp it out to get the tire repaired and expect that the dash will light up.
I ran into this even on my 97 taco when a tire shop talked me into only changing the rear tires. Could not shift into 4WD on the fly and if put in 4WD bad noises and handling. I've not yet tried putting a stock spare on my 4th gen to see how angry it will get since with the v8 I have no 2WD option.
Went with a good patch kit and compressor, Hope to go years w/o needing the spare. Will likely get a 5th TRDPro rim and "full sized" spare on next tire purchase then figure out where to mount the larger than stock spare.
