Default spare tire ?

I realize this topic has been well covered, but there is one answer I have not found. From a previous post, I assume the following spare will fit over the GT3 front calipers:

996.362.020.02 - Emergency wheel for '04 Turbo with M450 (PCCB)

But, I notice there is a 0.4" difference in OD between the GT3 front and rear tires. Granted, not much, but with an LSD-equiped car, running tires with even a small difference in diameter can be a very expensive mistake. Has anyone had actual experience in mounting this spare, front or rear?

I haven't ever actually tried that. I'd be happy to try the spare from my non-GT3 carrera and see if it fits.
