In what way does this wheel only fit the rear @KB Hawk, front and rear should be the same?

I suspect you have sourced it from this website. The only possible explanation would be the Brake disc and caliper size, I would assume, or the inset might interfere with the inner arch when steering.

Where exactly would one stow a spare wheel? My spare wheel well houses the vehicle battery, or am I mistaken?

Good point with the brake disc size @DeclanB, fronts will be bigger.

I think an adaptation of MG Clive's, False Floor would be the best option. The wheel would need to be a space saver. Or failing that, one of those spare wheel bags from IKEA or similar. The wheel would need to be secured with some form of thether to avoid creating a missile in the event of a collision.

Forgot to add, it might be worth checking with some of the members from NZ and Australia, to see what the part number is for the spare wheel that comes with the non hybrid version. Also the jack and wheel wrench would need to be stowed somewhere.

This one looks like a better option on paper. It's from the same supplier as the 16-inch option, but it is claimed to fit the front and rear and appears to include the jack and wheel wrench.

Another option if you don't want to take up room in the boot, is to fit something like these:

I ran them on my Dacia Logan, when I had it, as I did a fair bit of motorway driving back then and wanted an option that would allow me to drive far enough to get off the motorway or into a rest stop and avoid having to stop on the motorway and all that it entails. They allow you to drive for up to 80km at a speed of 80kph as long as the puncture is not on the sidewall. Bit of a harsher ride, but nothing too bad. Longevity wasn't too bad on them either. Continental also do an option, where they fill the tyre with a self-sealing gel. I watched a demo of it at one of their Vision Zero events 6 or 7 years ago and it looked fairly impressive. They drilled into a tyre as a demo and drove around a race track, with minimal loss of pressure. Not sure of the cost of the Continental service and I'm pretty sure that both of the latter options require you to ditch the tyre afterwards.

Spare wheel city says rear wheels only!

Yes for the 16 inch but it says front and rear for the 18 inch. I would avoid the 16 for that reason. The 18 is a space saver so it would have a different profile to allow for that.
