They all have the 80k sticker on them. R-spec cars have a gt rim for the spare and it has an 80k sticker even though it's exactly the same as the wheels/tyres that are mounted.
I had one of your rims in my xt , it's full-size but only 16" and a larger profile.
As mechanik said, spacesavers are more like bicycle tyres, a tiny rim with a huge profile.
They are really dangerous imo and I won't have one in my car.
So don't throw your spare, it's usable.
