I would seriously ditch that crappy donut spare, they are flat out dangerous. Mine exploded in the trunk when it was two years old, never used. I called TireRack and ordered a replacement steel rim and Khumo tire assembled for about $150 (205/50-16). Just call them or go to TireRack.com and order the same size tire that's on your car now. Then there will be no hazard in the trunk and no speed restriction if you ever have to use it on the side of the road one rainy night. If you're in doubt about the fit take a tape measure and measure across the narrowest part of the spare well in the trunk and tell TireRack that's the biggest diameter tire you can fit in there. They'll set you up.
