Suzuki Swift (2020 -) space saver wheel

I’d really like to get a space saver wheel for my Swift (tyre size 185 / 55 R16).  I thought that the spare from my Ignis (115/70 R16 would be fine but it doesn’t fit into the well in the boot - the inner part of the wheel is too ‘fat’.  Could anyone who has a space saver in their Swift advise me on the size they have, and where to get one - apart from Suzuki as they’d like £299!

Thanks!

    Thanks for your comments - it’s the actual physical dimensions of the wheel that I need to check.  (thewheelshop sell one but I really want to double check that it will fit in the well in the boot!)

    What do you mean by
    but it doesn’t fit into the well in the boot - the inner part of the wheel is too ‘fat’.
    Do you mean it is too tall to ft under the carpet ?
    If so many cars have different size floor spacers fitted to account for can of goop, space saver or full size wheel.
    You have tried fitting it outside down ?  All the wheels on Ebay seem to state for Swift and Ignis and they have quite a dish on them.

    Yes I do mean about it being potentially too ‘tall’ to fit under the carpet.  The Ignis space saver IS too ‘tall’.  Obviously I don’t have the Swift space saver yet or I would try it in the space!!  (And yes of course I have tried the Ignis spare every way - several times!)
