Honda HRV - Honda HRV 1.5 i-VTEC spare tyre - stac1852

Hello,
I own a Honda HRV 1.5 i-VTEC Manual Petrol. I am going to do a long trip with it and I'd need to buy a spare tyre. My honda has 17" ALLOY WHEELS
The problem is that I know nothing about cars, so it would be really appreciated if anyone of you could help me with this.
I'd like to know if this tyre would work. Ling Long Greenmax - 215/55/R17 94V - E/B/71 - Summer tyre

Is it for the Honda HRV? And does it fit in its trunk (in the space available for the spare tyre)?

Thank you all

Your problem is more getting the right alloy or steel wheel/space saver & tyre.

The tyre needs to be the right size, off-set etc etc

like this

The HR-V can take a full sized spare wheel, for which there is plenty of room under the low load deck floor. However, to keep official certified emissions as low as possible, this will have to be offered as an aftermarket dealer accessory.

You see alloy wheels advertised on ebay etc for around £80, best to buy a matching tyre to the ones on the car - Cheap Chinese " ditch finders" are cheap to but but can lead to trouble!

Do you have a suitable jack & wheelbrace? you need them as well.
