Depends on what you mean by full size. My 4.4 has a "full size" 17" tire back there, but I don't thing it would fit over your brakes on the 4.8, and I don't think anything bigger would fit back there. Why would you want to add a bigger tire and more weight anyhow?

I'd like to have a 20" tire as a spare for trips towing my boat long distances...I don't want to leave the boat somewhere to look for a tire shop while on vacation for a week in the keys. I guess an 18 or 19 might do in a pinch, but I'm not sure how the X would handle with boat in tow.

Since they are staggered which size do you plan to use as spare?

I have to see that fit. That's why they gave this.

There is a design which has been sent in for review which will allow mounting of a spare wheel outside the trunk door on the exterior on the E70.

I make at least one trip a year to the keys (8-9 hour trip) with a 4,000lb boat/trailer. I guess I could get a 20' spare and load it in the boat like I do with the spare for the trailer. The 17inch will be fine for around town.
