I have a full size 205/55VR15 on a 'teardrop' (stock wheel on early 9000) rim, and can say that it certainly does not fit! This is a 15 x 6 wheel. However, the problem isn't so much the tire, as the width of the wheel. Even without the tire, I could not have closed the trunk floor. My interim (which has turned into many years) solution was to cut a circular hole in the trunk floor, so now I have a left and right side floor hinged separately. Looks somewhat silly, in the future I will fix it by one or many ways.
First off, I'll get a trunk mat to cover the whole thing, and then probably take my jig saw to the sheet metal lip over the front of the spare tire well which interferes with the large tire. Then later, if I have more spare cash, maybe I'll look for a narrower wheel and tire combination. :)
Naturally, since I got my full size speed rated spare, have not had to use it once!
