Full size spare ?

I am running on 20's at the moment, and on inspected the spare wheel noticed that is a 275/50/19.

If I buy a matching 20" wheel - will it fit in the spare wheel housing ? I could of course take the wheel off and try it - but I imagine someone else will probably already know the answer !

A 10 spoke 20" wheel with a standard 275/40R20 tyre will stow underneath in place of the 255/50R19 on the black alloy (the 20" is in fact 11mm smaller in diameter than the 19") but due to being wider it will hang 20mm lower, reducing departure angle. Also the flat rim face of the alloy where it is pulled up against the rubber pads under the car may get scuffed. If you are not worried about departure angle and have a spare you don't mind not looking perfect it solves the problem of a 50mph limit if you have to use it.
