18" Spare tire hunt

https://www.ebay.com/itm/20481723623...3ABFBMnP3r-Ihk

I understand this is the correct space saver tire for my 2004 with 18's. (although my vin is not marked for spare tire delete, I don't have one and do have the cover that fits exactly in the space)
Question #1 - I have read it's possible even this rim may not fit over the front brakes - curious if anyone can confirm that.
Question #2 would this spare fit ? Same bolt pattern and it sure looks close

https://www.ebay.com/itm/15616180329...Bk9SR4TZpvaIZA

Thanks

Update I ordered the Porsche one so I will let everyone know the answer to #2. If it fits seems like a lower cost alternative. Plus it's red.

That's a 19 intended for 07-11 SL65. My rims are 18 on a 2004 SL55

Yeah I found that too. The red wheel is on the way so results will be posted. As mentioned if this works could be a good remedy for us sl55 peeps. If not, then I have a nice wall decoration.

So does it fit ? YES ! I got it for $94 plus shipping so like $130 and it's brand new. These wheels are all over Ebay.
