Its meant to be a space saver wheel which fits nicely under the carpet.

may be a tad too simple but it's not in upside down is it? Should have the dish facing up, with the toolkit inside it.

Or it's not stood on it's end? :D

lol, it's the carpet itself mainly - it bulges up to make room for the wheel as if it's meant to :(

I've seen that before, my missus has a Golf 1.4 which has the carpet moulded to the shape of the tyre, looks like a tyre mound.  Maybe that's normal?

My carpet has a hardboard backing to the carpet over the wheel.
So maybe you got a wrong carpet!

Yeh i think you'll need a space saver wheel like stu mentioned, then maybe a new carpet if it's not a flat one, and you're definitely right about no room for subs.  I was thinking about 2 subs for my car but that's not practical at all.
