Are those inflatable spares of any use on cars with modern(ish) wheels

It looks like the rolling height would be about 19".

>>>Actually, the sidewall of the spacesaver spare in the Pantera is 
folded over on itself.  The diameter can vary greatly depending on how 
much it's inflated.  If necessary it can reportedly get up to 27 inches 
tall or whatever.  That's how a single spacesaver tire can fill the 
role of both the stock front and rear tires, with their noticeably 
different diameters.
