Spare wheel well, will a 19" with tyre fit properly

As the title, just wondering whether to order another wheel and an extra tyre. I'm too lazy to try myself!

No it wont, had to do some serious mods to get the 18" to fit and boot floor sat just a little high..... no chance of getting 19 in the hole, rolling radius is slightly bigger and wheel is wider...

Carry a full size spare in the boot on long journeys.... well worth the loss of space verses trying to find one at 2 on a wet wednesday morning :roll:
