Default Spare Tire Fitment Question - Camry

Hello all:

I recently acquired a 2006 SC430 and am loving it! There's a couple of wonky things I'm working through now (antenna mast, intermittent headlamp), but for the most part, it's fabulous. 47k miles. I plan on hanging on to this baby until they bury me in it...

It has brand new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on it, so I'm contemplating a spare option. I've seen lots of posts here about options for both wheels/tires as well as mounting in the trunk, so there's some great info. I'm currently carrying a compressor and fix-a-flat for backup. I do have a question about the Camry compact spare.

I found a 2011 Camry spare 155/70/17 for a very reasonable price. Thinking it might be a good option, but I can't determine if the wheel specs are interchangeable. I've seen posts here about the 2007-09 Camry being ok, but I'm wondering if there's anything different with the 2011 that anyone knows about. I expect the extra tire size will be a tighter fit in the trunk, but it's probably ok, right?

Any advice/guidance is appreciated.

...also something that I did that saved me some money. First of all, you know the bolt pattern is 5x114, so I did my research for vehicles with the same pattern. Then I hit a few salvage/wrecking yards, found a spare tire in a G35, paid $35 out the door
