No need to pay dealer to install. If you get the complete kit, the installation is super easy.

Can you use an 18in spare tire with 20 inch rims on the other tires?

If the 20 inch are the original factory size, then yes, as they have the same rolling circumference.

That said, the narrower tire won't handle the same, so watch your speed and don't push it anywhere near a cornering limit.
