I am in Midsomer Norton, near you, and I have spare Omega wheels, but no 17". For a spare, does size matter?

Thanks. I have sent you a message. Any chance I could pop over today and see if one fits? I am not looking to scrounge it and am happy to buy it!
I am sorry about my typo of 17 - the spare, like the road wheels, is R16. I put it down to old age, approaching senility and general decrepitude.
It is no wonder Mrs Google was of little help is telling me what to buy off eBay as there seem to be so many variants. I half remember reading what was on the spare as 205 65 R16 and some post here say that later saloons were fitted with 205 65 R16 as spares, while other posts say it won't fit in the well and I am better to go for 195 65 R15.
I doubt I will ever need to mount the thing but, if I do, I would like to know I wasn't damaging the car because it was the wrong rolling radius, so working the diff rather hard if on the back; or the wrong offset, which might stress things or mess up the steering geometry if on the front, or even crunch into the bodywork.
I'll send my phone number.
Thanks
