Spare wheel

[Worried2]

Can I use one of the wheels off my old 2007 RAV4 (size 225/65-17) as a spare on my recently acquired 2013 RAV4 (size 235/55-18) ? I'm not sure if the lug nut pattern is the same and the wheel clearances work.

I realise it may not fit in the space under the boot floor but I could secure it in the boot itself.

It would feel so much more secure than relying can of foam to get you home.

Regards all

Unless you consider a spacesaver, which will be enough to get you somewhere where the damaged tyre can be repaired, and should fit in the wheel well (safer than diy securement in the boot).

Thanks for that Frosty, I glanced at spacesavers this morning and was relieved to see they could be had for a reasonable price,  ie sub 100 notes. But I notice there is no mechansim to secure them down in the wheel well (at the moment) in my car.
