Hey mate,
checkout www.1010tires.com, they have a tire calculator there, I have used it to calculate myself out of the tyre replacement trouble, but don't forget the load index.
I've tried to have a look at your problem and it seems that not only the spare would be some 3.5 cm narrower than the other tyres but also some 4-4.5cm higher (overall diameter resulting in approximate difference of 2 cms in radius)
closest of the 205series on 16rims would be 205/85R16 but still some 7mm smaller which might make a huge difference in driveability.
I recommend get rid of the spare and buy a one that is the same size as the other wheels fitted to your vehicle.
KEEP SAFE!
