Boomer, a full sized 225/45/17 wheel and tire fits fine with the wagon, but will be just a little proud on the sedan once those pieces of hard foam are removed. It sure does fit better than the 235/45/17 wheel and tire combo I used to use on a few of my 9-5s.
Now, what fits nicer on the 9-5 sedan, is a 205/55/16 wheel and tire. If you use the 215/55/16 base Arc wheel and tire, again, the floor will be up on the sedan. I have found I can mix up the 16s and 17s if required and the handling is a little impaired but if the tire style is the same, not dangerous in my view. Massive, massively safer than using the doughnut. You are left to decide how to secure the larger spare, though.
