I put my spline hubbed 48 spoke wheel in my well without too much difficulty.  
I find a wide blade spatula helps keep the hub from catching on the strap.

Budget lock????  All right.  I confess, I put the rear tire well lid on with
pretty new toilet seat escutcheons about 13 years ago and haven't opened it
since.  Now I can't remember the fastener used.  Looks like a duzi.  Used a
long-handled flathead, and found it's a simple lever.  Guess that's why it's a
budget lock.

Sourced a old style 48 spoke wheel, restored it, tubed it, and
planted a nice narrow tire on it.  Alas, the opening is too narrow to
accommodate the spline/hub.

Are old steel wheels the only option to carry a
spare?  Anyone every put the spare on the trunk with some ad hoc but cool
looking assembly?
