A good number of people have done it. Here's some pictures I took when I upgraded back in 2008. Bought a hacked up (but straight) tech rim off ebay for $50, a slightly used Michelin Latitude tire, and had it mounted for $10.
Also a lot of others recommended a tire cover to keep things clean, especially since it sticks out from the bottom.

Did you get the full size spare because you tow?

Got the bag from autozone's website for $17 shipped.
Not sure if they still have it, but it was the extra large size that covers 33 inches and 11.5 inches deep.
Don't tow at all, just wanted the security and piece of mind of having a full sized spare.

Acura recommends a full size spare when towing but never said mounted under. The 18 inch in picts above is too low for saftey. The 19 is even lower. Store inside SUV, on top, on rear, or within whay you are towing. There is a reason why Acura uses the space saver in the first place.

I think the compartment is large enough for a full size wheel when not towing. If not, where were you suppose to put your flat tire?

Carry it inside MDX, on top, in what u are towing, or with spare wheel attacment on rear. Honda only says full size not where.
The Advance stock P255 50 R19 tire is 29" Diameter and 12" Thick fully inflated.
The underside wheel well is 31" Wide shield to shield and 28" Long from bumper bolt to axle frame ... but there is a hose on drivers side that would hit the tire if it was full size as above thus requiring it be much lower or un-inflated.
Not wise putting a pound of coffee in a bag made for a half pound ...
