to stay legal yes you would have to get a 17inch spare...if you were to get cought with the 15inch spare on you get fined and maybe some points to...

Its Not Illegal At All, You Need To Have The Same Size Of Wheels On The Same Axle For The Mot But Most Cars These Days Come With 15" Spacesavers Even Cars With Rims At 16 And 17"

I'd say yes for the short term, but I wouldn't get tearing up and down the M1 for weeks on end.

so long as the entire wheel is about the same size you should be ok
so make sure theres a balloon of a tyre on the spare
