Spare Wheel Doesn't Fit

I got a flat last tire last night. I jacked the car up and removed the wheel, but the spare donut just wouldn't go on. Although it looks like the same 4-bolt pattern and has Saab stamped on the wheel, the spacing of the bolt holes doesn't seem to match the lugs exactly.
Are there different bolt spacings that could cause incompatibility? Maybe this spare isn't the original? The wheel I removed (with the flat) has 5 1/2 x 15 stamped on it while the spare has 4 x 15 (one or both wheels had some letters mixed into those numbers as well, can't remember them off the top of my head). I know that probably refers to the rim dimension and not the bolt pattern, but I include that info for completeness.
Could somebody help to clue me in?
This also reminded me that I need to pick up a can of fix-a-flat, a plug kit, and to locate a handle for my trunk jack.
Thanks!
