A 21" should fit as I have a 22" in mine,,is their something under the space saver that's stopping if fitting to the bottom of the well.? Andy.

Hi thanks for the reply, and yes there’s a small dome shaped insert there but I cannot see how it removes, I’ll maybe have to ask my local RR garage

The small dome thing is the compressor for the air suspension,,the spare sits over it. Andy.

Ok thanks in that case I can’t see anything that’s obstructing it, the 21 inch extends out around 2 inches above the well in the boot.. I’ll take a couple of pics shortly and add them to this thread

I think you need to post up some comparison measurements like wheel width of new wheel, width of space saver, depth of well for spare etc. Did the spacesaver sit flush with the floor? If it did then I’d say it was a space saver for that reason. In other cars if you have a full size wheel, there are packing pieces to raise the level of the floor to match that of the wheel. That obviously won’t work on a vehicle like the RRS but that’s how other manufacturers do it. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

I think you may find there are two different liners listed one for space saver spare and one for full size spare as they act as a insulator.
