Yes I have a full size in mine and fits perfectly fine.

They take a fill sized spare easy, the ones from the factory are a 195/55R15 with Steel wheel, but you could get a 16 inch like on the car if you really wanted.

My VRS wont take a full size spare, when i had a puncture i put the wheel with the damaged tyre in the back but the floor didn't sit down flat on top as the wheel was too wide.

I carry in the spare tyre well a 215/40 R 17 tyre inflated on a Gigaro rim and the floor sits flat in a Fabia vRS.

You need to slide it in from the front to the back.

A 205/40 R 17 Pirelli Zero Nero fits in and has plenty room, i have tow straps and stuff around the tyre

& a Tool Carrier in the wheel..

 

This is a Dunlop Sport Maxx 205/40 R 17 in as a spare.

You might find its not there as it was an optional extra. Many cars, mine included (Fabia Greenline, 09) Had an electric pump and a sealant bottle in the boot. The idea being to save weight (And Skoda some cash) Along with perhaps making a little more from those buying the optional spare to complete the car! The bottle of gunk, by the way, is quite pricey to replace and only has a few years use by date... Not really an economical item at all, despite having a handy pump in the car. I would recommend using slime or gloop in the tyres prior to puncture, rather then rely on the VW/Skoda crud. Either that or get a puncture kit with the "Worms" You plug in the hole, getting a full repair at a suitable opportunity, the sooner the better.

Would a 195/65/r15 be OK as a spare with a 17" alloy? I see most vws have this size as a spare.

[Ootohere]

Too big.

They are 195/55 R 15 for the Fabia.

For all size alloys? Is the tyre diameter the same on all skoda wheels?

[Ootohere]

No. 

A fabia can come on a 15,16 or 17" Alloy.  

Tyre sizes can be different on 15's or 16's depending on the Model.

eg Greenline. Reaction.

 

Monte Carlo or vRS in the UK are on 205/40 R 17 Tyres.  

In Australia and some other countries a Monte Carlo gets 16" Alloys.

 

I run a Fabia vRS with 215/40 R17 Tyres.

195/55/r15

205/45/r16

205/40/r17

Yeah but if I run the 17" alloys is the 195/55/15 the same tyre diameter?

[Ootohere]

& you might get a Fabia Greenline II on 185/60 R15

[Ootohere]

Mole.

The standard spare for a Fabia is 195/55 R15

& that is what goes in Monte Carlos as an Option & a vRS as standard.   The spares are near enough, they are speed limited temporary fit.

True. Thanks
