The rolling radius should still be the same
You just don't wanna look silly with a pram wheel on your car stuck at 50mph

You should be able to drive using the spacesaver wheel, the overall diameter should be the same, even if it isn't a few miles wont hurt.

put the spare on the back and back on the front (if you see what I mean) This way it will miss your calipers

Depending what age of Scoob we're talking about
And no-one said it was a Turbo
