Got a 155/80/13 spare !
Lucky I haven't lost it as it leaves the carrier loose under the car !! Although the spare's clamp/hooky/thread thingybob actually bottoms out and traps the hook against the carrier and shouldn't let it drop. I've been hearing a noise over bad bumps, but thought it was prolly the rear silencer, which is ALSO the wrong size and finishes 4 inches before it reaches the bumper. I saw that the spare's tread was ok when I bought the car but have only just seen the size of the tire when I was sorting the brakes this week. It does fit over the rear disc, I tried it, but haven't tried it on the front yet. It's probably going to snag the front caliper, and although the overall diameter is a match for the 185/60, I'm dubious about the offset being correct too.
Dammit, can't even post in the wanted section yet!
