Carpet on Saloon lays flat with standard spare or has a wheel sized 30mm bulge with a 225.

OK, estate must have a deeper well & also under the carpet is a thick fiberboard type cover which still lays flat even with a 225 tyre.
I had a Mk3 Granada estate which had a steel cover over the spare wheel well - guess Ford ditched this on the Scorpio to save money & weight as the body panels were carried over.

That's it. Wonder if a 205/55 tyre would fit any be better?

Just had a look at mine and was surprised to see it was at a guess about 20mm higher, turns out I’d put a 205 spare in it  It may depend on how good the under-carpet is. Mine has a thick felt backed carpet with a thinner felt under-carpet that has a stiff rubberised coating that has broken up – perhaps if that was intact it might have smoothed out the step. There’s also a wheel sized hardboard disk over the wheel that clips to the wheel centre.
