<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
car. Some of these are smaller than those on a Tiger or Alpine. It

<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

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>
