Went to use it today and it doesn't clear the front brakes. I've belatedly learned how to read the offset - this is an IS 30 and I guess needs to be IS 18 as Rich_D stated above.
My mistake. Would you look for another wheel or consider using a spacer given the temporary nature of a space saver spare?

Yeah, you found out the hard way that you need more offset.
I'd just get a hubcentric spacer for temporary use with a spacesaver, people use spacers long term with no issues so it will be fine.
