No (they use 19 inch spare for all model 3s, whether your car comes with 18's, 19's or 20s')

Yes

As long as the outside tire diameter are the same... Givr

I agree, as long as the diameter or height side by side is very similar, within a few mm, the car probably won’t worry too much, it’ll just look a bit funny

I bet the car won't notice even if the difference is a few CM. Nor will the driver. I had a blowout (hit a curb) and replaced it with a new Michelin now mixed with old Goodyears. NEVER noticed any difference in driving. The new tire had several mm of tread that my old tires didn't have. I guess I'm just not a good driver, unable to notice differences in tread and its affect on my driving. NOT.

I have a modern spare tire for a Model Y. Can I use this for road trips in my Model 3?
