Use a tyre site that has a size equivalence/compare "widget" on it, e.g.:

Not sure what the tolerance is on Torsen (5% maybe).
If it's too far out just get a different profile tyre (used will do - plenty around at low prices) on the spare.

Personally I like my spare to be the same as the other 4, so both my cars have 2 sets each (summer/winter) of 5 identical wheels. Though the spares are usually a bit "tattier" and maybe not with the best tyres either.

Actually I was kinda excited on the idea of using the sparewheel-room for storage

So I will see what people say on the Slime-idea before thinking about getting a new tyre for the spare.

But thanks for your input, much appriciated
