2000 S80: Full Size Spare?

I didn't see any posts about this so I just thought to put it out. I have a temporary spare tire in the trunk but would like to get a full size spare (my car has the stock 11 spoke alloys). Does anyone know if the area in the spare tire compartment can hold a stock full size rim and tire? I really wasnt sure if any had done this. I guess the only way to know is take one of my tires off and try to fit it into my spare tire compartment.

Hello,

My 2000 S80 has the same wheels (16") and my spare (which fits OK in the wheel well) is a full size matching alloy wheel.

So yes!

Thanks! Now its time for me to go hunting for one that matches my set.

I was able to find the exact type rim that I have in an auto recycling yard. I have been using it as my full-size spare and it does fit perfectly in the same spot as the non full size spare did.
