<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">
<DIV>I’d think just abut any Fox body (4 bolt) space saver spare would fit.
Ford used anywhere between 14” to 16” tires on those cars. If the spare
(though smaller) was sized accordingly to the OEM tires they might come in a
variety of sizes. Even though the FWD (Escort, newer Cougar etc.) cars are
listed as having a similar bolt pattern be aware that the center hole (and
likely offset) becomes an issue. I went through a lot of that with my
Pinto that shares the same 4 X 4.25” bolt pattern with the Tiger.</DIV>

be sure the center hole for the hub fits both the back and front of the

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial',sans-serif">A possible
solution to what to use for a spare and rim has been used by member Jim
Armstrong and I hope he will chime in here.<BR><BR>What Jim did was to find a
compact spare from a 74-78 Mustang. The bolt circle is the same as the Tiger,
so it bolts on without<BR>any difficulty. It also takes up less room in the
boot, being a <U>compact</U></SPAN> spare. Seems like a good solution for
those who can do <BR>without total authenticity.<BR><BR>As had been said, make
sure you are carrying the proper lug nuts to attach your
spare.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Tod<BR>B382002384LRXFE<BR>TAC#864<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
