Question Full-Size Spare?

I just put on some new tires (Nokian Hakkapilleta NRW). I'm just wondering if anybody who's upgraded their tires has tired mounting a stock tire (ie. P195/55 R15 Potenza) on a rim and put that in the trunk in place of the spare donut. Basically, this would give you a full size spare.

However, I'm thinking that it probably wouldn't fit in that space. Can anybody verify?

Thanks!

i was in there last night and although i didn't actually place a stock tire in there, my eyeball tell me it's going to be too high for the space.

Even though my 14" alloys are ugly as ****, my car came with 5 of them fitted with Pirelly P6000 tires, not bad huh?

Maybe you should look into making a contenintal kit for your Pro. That way you could have the full size spare and show off you nice rims. roflmao.
