Having just bought a 2019 Qashqai I am wanting to acquire a space saver wheel/tyre.
My wheels/tyres are Mitchelin 215/55/R18 . The only space saver wheel/tyre I can find is an R16 is this suitable for temporary use?
Space saver spare.

The space saver wheel is 16 inch in all cases. The Continental space saver tyre for the 16 inch wheel has a higher tyre wall. So overall diameters are the same (wheel + tyre). The car won't slope over sideways, and all ride geometry is correct when space saver fitted. The full kit with plastic stowage is about £220...SS wheel with tyre, brace, spanner

Some spacesavers are 16", some are 17" - either would be OK with the correct tyre.

In fact I've found you can even get an 18" - https://www.tyremen.co.uk/wheels/18-nis ... ental-tyre

The bigger the alloy the more it costs...16 inch is standard with the right tyre.
The tyremen company is not cheap and do not supply the plastic moulded cover where the tyre is stowed...the rear floor boarding won't lay properly with that tyreman setup.

The usual spacesaver is steel not alloy

Yes.
That's the space saver spare that Nissan sell.
I have a spare on if you live near Stockport.

I bought my space saver wheel from motorhomes scotland on ebay last year for £129. Don't know if they have any left but it was the genuine article black steel 16 inch wheel with everything included right down to the moulded boot insert and the longer bolt required to fit it . May (or not) have been a continental version as the wheel safety sticker was in kilometres. I got the correct continental tyre fitted by a Nissan dealer for a further £80. I've never used it but I feel a lot more comfortable with it there. This wheel + tyre + moulded insert fits perfectly in the spare wheel well ,but only just. I doubt if a bigger wheel would.
