The spare in the rear door is not normal size anyway.
It is commonly called a pizza cutter (full standard height tyre, but very narrow).
You can only use it as an emergency tyre to get you to a service centre, and is limited to a speed of approx 30 mph IIRC.

If you want to carry a full size spare (standard size or larger) you will have to mount it elsewhere.
Others have them mounted outside the rear door, or up on their roof rack, or if you take the rear seats out, you can mount it inside the cargo space.
