Unless you pick up a donut spare, your 17" spare is all that will fit and is just fine.

You should be OK if you use OEM size tires on those 20s. The rolling diameter should NOT be much different from the OEM 17s...so you're fine.

The rolling diameters for 275/40/20 = 28.661", 315/35/20 = 28.681", and 235/65/17 = 29.027". So, they are all within about 1 percent of each other. Like I said...you're fine using the OEM 17" as spare.
