914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Guess this Spare

Posted by: Ed_Turbo Jul 29 2017, 09:44 AM

I am asking everywhere and tried to get some background infoormation on this but no luck. This was in the trunk of the 914. Probably just in there to fill in space. Anyone know?

Looks like a generic steel spare wheel like what Monkey Wards used to sell & others, with a newer temp spare tire mounted.

My other guess is for a 924/944, but IRRC those mostly or all had collapsible spares (maybe an early 924?).

Look on the back for any maker stampings.

I look at that with my 25 years of tire/wheel service experience, and my first impression is GM. I doubt it will fit even a 5 lug Porsche.
