you can fit a normal wheel in there, except it will not be flush with the floor but stick out quite a bit.

In NYC, I never put any expensive spare tires in the back. I use valet parking a couple of times a month and I've heard around and even know people that will steal spare tires and sell it back out as a set usually. Most people never really double check if their spare tires are missing; usually only other valuables like maybe a shopping bag full of clothes that your lady/gent bought. So by the time you actually need the spare, it might have been too late 
. Of course, if you don't use the valet, that probably wouldn't be an issue besides the fitment question you are asking about. Remember people, check your spare tires if you valet!

thank God, i had toll money to come back home.
