I now have a 2.2 iDECT ES GT saloon 2013 and would like to get a full size spare wheel 225/50 R17
Would it fit in the spare wheel well ? although I know it would be deeper than the well itself
Could anyone tell me where to get one from ? I have tried on my tyres .co.uk but when I put the make and model in it comes up as 16s not 17s
 
I don't know whether it will fit or not, but maybe you could jack up the car, remove a wheel, and see how that fits
 
A full size will not fit in a saloon 8 th gen.
I have a space saver that is the next best thing and can be brought from Holdcroft Honda.
Or if you can find one on eBay as from new there about £160

Sorry if I am reviving an old post, but when I bought my Accord (same as above) in March 2014, I bought a spare wheel and tyre (same as on the car), and it fits okay in the well. Be aware that it is deeper than the well, as the OP pointed out, but only by about 1.5". I made a wooden platform to sit above the spare to create a new false bottom in the boot. It works well.
 
i did the same. There was that silly tyre repair kit in mine, and the fluid was out of date, and is not good for the tyre, even if it does fix the puncture.

I went with the full size (steel) replacement.
While it sits proud, i bought a nice fitted cover on ebay to go over it, and am pleased with the outcome.

A nice cover, and the knowledge of a full size spare underneath if ever i need it :)
