Does a full size spare wheel fit in a Kia eNiro 2020?

Fitting a full size spare wheel into the well in the boot of my Kia eNiro did not go as well as I had hoped, there appeared to be plenty of room and why would Kia produce a space that can not be used?
If you watch the video you see the solution reached and might be interested in some of the things I purchased to allow me to change a spare wheel.
Many of the products I obtained at trade price or discounted through a buying group I belong to so I will quote retail prices to give you some idea of cost if you want to fit a "proper" spare wheel.
Steel Wheel from Oponeo.co.uk
Alcar KFZ Hybridrad 132200..............................................£78.00 inc V.A.T

Michelin Cross Climate 215/55 r17...................................£140.00 Fitted
Changing tyres to new steel centres..................................£15.00 each
The following items I obtained from a national Motor Factor, starting with Halfords
Halfords Extending Wheel Nut Wrench.......... 635236 ....£12.00
Halfords Wheel Chocks X2........................ .....657214.......£8.00
Alloy Wheel Nut Socket - Air Impact 21mm.. .697144....£11.99
Halfords Car Warning Triangle ........................124549....£12.99
Flashing warning lights various, less than ........................£5.00 each

Fluorescent/Reflective tabards various, less than ...........£4.00 each
Fluorescent/Reflective jacket various, mine cost me ....£26.00 each
A mechanics magnetic LED torch various, less than .......£10.00

Plus..

Boots Non-Latex Hygiene Gloves - 10 pack ......................£2.19
To remove the punctured wheel and replace with spare, whilst keeping ones hands clean, not shown in the video as I now store them in the car so I can give a demonstration of a particular situation/maneuver without have to completely clean the car again during this COVID-19 crisis, I chose non latex and non powdered gloves as if a pupil wanted to use them they can without fears of any allergic reaction to the gloves.
Luckily the original Tyre Pressure Sensing Valves did fit my steel centres as ATS could not tell me if they would fit until they actually saw what they were like.
Fitting an ordinary rubber valve to the spare does not 'confuse' the car as nowadays cars are normally only equipped with 4 wheels fitted to them and a bottle of gunk to temporarily fix a puncture for a maximum of 50 miles to get you to a garage, but after the tyre has been exposed to the liquid NO repairs to the tyre can be undertaken and it has to be scrapped even though it might have been perfectly serviceable if removed and taken to the tyre fitters.
It also has the advantage of allowing it to flex a bit to check on the trye pressure, something that would be impossible to do with the rigid steel valves fitted to the original centres and of course they are MUCH CHEAPER..
This video has allowed me to talk about wheel balancing and the problem one might encounter if you lose a balancing weight, namely shaking of the steering wheel in a very specific speed range of about 5 m.p.h. Easily ifxed by re-balancing the wheel a five minute job for a tyre fitter, or in the case of the Yeovil branch of ATS 15 seconds if the video is to be believed.. ;)
Although I did show quite a bit of things one should have in the boot in case of an emergency, I did not show all of the things I actually have but most are listed in the parts bits above..
Some off you might be asking yourselves WHAT COMPETITION did Martin Hepworth win, I am offering two small prizes to the first two who email me drive@petercary.com with the exact spot it starts and stops, this is obviously not open to Martin and others have received runner up prizes.
I do hope you are enjoying my videos, it has been a very steep learning curve in learning video editing which I knew nothing about when I posted my first video (and how it shows) to now when I am using lots of different techniques, but this is really challenging my laptop, so much so that I am having to limit the amount of effects I do per session, however I think I might have found a solution, so in August I have very impressive plans but questionable ability, so in the meantime I will be producing some shorter less demanding (pictorially) videos in a quicker time frame..
Please email me drive@petercary.com with what you would like to see and if I use your idea you will win a prize.
