Spare Advice
I wanted to find out how some of you have set up your spare tire.
My current set up on the car is: I am running 15x 7 fuchs on the fronts with 205/50R15 On the back a pair of 15 x 8 fuchs with 225/45ZR15. I have a 15 x6 Fuch rim for the spare. What size tire would you mount ?

The 205 will be a little easier to carry with you, and the overall diameter of both of your tire sizes is very close. If you're really concerned about space, you could go as narrow as 165/60-15, and that would only be a little shorter than either of your other tires. Though your tire busters may be unhappy about fitting a 165-width tire on a 6" wide rim...

x2 on 205/50. As mentioned, same overall size as the 225/45 or the 205/50. And its a "spare". And it fits better in the trunk. And it fits on a 6" wheel
