Was a full size 17 inch spare tire an option?
Hello-
I replaced my spare tire with a full size 17 inch spare rim that is like the rest of my wheels, but I noticed this is not mentioned on the literature. I guess there is no way to secure the full sized wheel since there are no securing rods available

Spikepaga; My 2002 X-Type Sport has 17 inch factory OEM wheels and a matching full-size spare, secured with a tie-down screw, below. I'm not the original owner, so don't know if the full-size spare is from the factory, a dealer option, or an addition by the former owner, but the storage space is designed to fit and secure a full-size 17" spare.

i need a long securing rod, since the 17 inch wheel goes in face up, I need a long securing rod like yours

Spikepaga: Search eBay for "Jaguar X-Type Spare Tire". Breakers sell them for $10-20, below.
FYI, OEM tires on 16" and 17" rims have the same outer diameter and width. How so? Because the diameter of a 17" rim is 1" larger, but the tire sidewall is 1/2" shorter (x 2) vs. a 16" rim & tire.

Fortunately I was able to find the part new for 10 dollars. The full size wheel is making noise over bumps, so I am really glad these are still available.
