Default Space saver tyre Brembo brakes

Has anyone found which other brands wheels will fit over the STR Brembo's as a spare? Are there any Ford alternatives? No Lincoln models here in Australia unfortunately.
Per photo below a 23 year old spare tyre was not going to go very long and trying to find a brand new rubber space saver tyre is going to be impossible and a waste of money.
Since there's room in the boot for a full size spare, that's the way to go. Even a steel wheel with the right tyre/ right circumference will suffice.

If you have one of these now very old space saver tyres, do not use it for more than a few miles!

Thanks. Any Ford Fusion/Mondeo 18 will fit with a spacer?
I could be wrong but I thought the XR5 version Mondeo 18" may have just been a straight fit?
Spacers appear to be on Temu and AliExpress.
Spacers need to be for a Ford pattern?

Thanks xalty.
Any Mondeo/Fusion 18" will fit with a spacer? I though maybe the XR5 version wheel of the Mondeo may have been a straight fit over, but unsure.
The spacers appear to be on Temu and AliExpress. Universal stud options available, are they okay?

Of course there could be another 18" Jaguar wheel that may fit over the Brembo's, if anyone's tried?
