Cant see why not, as the profile will be the same as a standard wheel, albeit about 1 inch wider.
The point is though, do you have the mechanism in place for the spare wheel?

you will also have to get the carrier as well and all the bolts to secure to the van, ive been thinking of this too and thought a standard connect wheel will do as its only a spare

basically the spare wheel carrier assembly and the 3 or 4 bolts that bolt it to the rear of the van and if you havent got one then a wheel brace as on the end of it it has a half inch hexagon to wind up/down the wheel

just to add there is only 8mm difference in rolling circumference between the 2254018 and the 1956515 tyres and you wont be restricted to 50mph with a space saver

Anyone got a picture/illustration of the setup ? Looks like there about £120 brand new without the bolts or £65 second hand.
