    I was surprised at the size of the spare wheel in my 2011 A7. Mine being a standard, non quattro, 3.0 TDI the road wheels are 18" with 255/45/18 tyres. However the spare is a 145/60/20. Surely a 2" larger wheel diameter coupled with a higher profile tyre, albeit a space saver, must result in a much larger rolling circumference.

    My last Audi, previous generation A6, had 18" wheels with a higher profile 17" space saver spare which seemed right.

    Is this 20" spare wheel right for my A7 or has the previous owner changed the spare at some point or the dealer has mixed it up with one from another Audi ?

    Not surprising at all. A bit of maths will tell you that both wheels/tyres have the same diameter. Your originals are 682mm and the spare is 686mm. A 2mm radial difference.
