The 850R comes with the horrible spacesaver spare as standard, so I went off and got a used Volans 17" rim which fits in fine.

The only problem was I fitted a DIRECTIONAL tread Falken onto the wheel - prat! Now I have to hope that I have a puncture on the right side of the car.

If anyone wants to trade a brand-new 205/45 17" Falken for a non-directional tyre of the same size, please let me know.

BTW the spacesaver is very useful as a plank support for when I want to work under the front of my car - being a R, standard ramps catch on the front bib.
