will spare tire fit with aftermarket lug nuts?

I wouldn't know where to put the flat after the swap! If there is a passenger in the seat, then the hatch has limited space to safely carry a rear

I wouldn't know where to put the flat after the swap! If there is a passenger in the seat, then the hatch has limited space to safely carry a rear sports tire! I'd hate to blow a hatch glass trying to stuff that puppy in there!...

You should never be putting a spare on the rear.

And just slide the divider and you could fit one if you wanted

It does fit. I had a 19" sport rim (with tire, of course) in my rear hatch. You have to have it all the way forward though.
