Hi:

I run Vredestein 165/80R15 tires on standard steel wheels on my TR3A. I
like them, except for the spare. The spare is really at the very limit of
being able to wedge into its compartment. That has gotten me to thinking
that a small donut-style tire might do the trick if I needed a spare.

Does anyone know of a modern donut wheel that can be used with a TR3A?

Thanks,

Dave MacKay

If you do the space saver spare, remember the tire is likely way too old and=
 needs to be replaced.

The bolt pattern is common, 90s Saab and I think Honda Accord, many others, 4=
 x 4.5" (114.3mm).  The offset is not so common, no problem on rears, but fr=
ont space saver spares may foul the front brake caliper, I have spacers on m=
y front wheels for other reasons and the Honda spare from the junkyard fits.=
