It probably does - have a look at the green car on the Williams website:

Yes, for comparison this is a trad with same width wheel albeit slightly lower profile at 55%.

I suspect the luggage rack which was temporarily removed on above shot, masks the width to a degree.

I've got 205/65 tyres on the rear of my trad, so have gone for a 165/80 'space saver' spare.

The spare wheel makes the car look unaesthetic. Either I would take a 4/4 spare wheel or none at all and instead Louvres in the rear.

The louvred panel like meabh has on his Plus 4 looks smart, I'm not a Beyonce fan.
