Does anyone know if a 175/65R14 Spacesaver from a ‘13 Plate will fit a ‘19 Plate?

Current wheel dimensions are 205/45R17

    Providing the stud pattern is the same  it should physically fit BUT the spare would have a much smaller rolling radius than the normal wheels -16.6mm

    Your speedo will also be affected

    and it will result in an uneven ride possibly affecting electronic monitoring, GPS and handling

    Provided the stud pattern is the same yes it will fit, just remember  that spacesavers are just a get you to a place where you can get a repair done, not for general driving and the speed limit of the saver needs to be adhered to. Also note the size is a universal fit thats  a compromise.
