Will the 307 SW spare wheel cradle hold a full size spare?

I recently bought a 2007 Peugeot 307 SW. When I lowered the emergency steel spare wheel to check it I found it was filthy dirty and very rusty. I have got hold of a matching alloy wheel with a standard 205R16 tyre on it. Do you think it is fine to hang this on the winch system? It is a little heavier!

If it fits the cradle, no reason why not. Consider putting it in a thick plastic garden waste bag to keep it cleaner, but remember it's in a very hostile place so dirt and damp will still get onto it so best to inspect it every six months or so.
