Elliot gave me this adp awhile back and I don't know what to do with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) What do I need to buy to complete the collapsible spare for my 4 bolt suspension. It is a 4x5 lug adp. On the 5 lug pattern the holes are 3"nominal C-C. I know the 4 bolt pattern is the 914. TIA

Porsche recommends the collapsible spare be replaced every few years. I saw my friends 2004 Cayenne spare inflate and push sideways off the rim instead of inflating directly over the rim. We deflated it and stood on the rim to hold the tire down. It lifted us off the ground as one side wall inflated correct and the other did not. Completely unusable.
If you can find a replacement tire to put on a 914 rim? I think Elliot did this on a 5 lug Fuchs. |

I have one from a 944turbo, still need to get a 12v pump. |

We took it to the dealer (2 blocks from the flat tire) and the service dept could not get it to inflate correctly. They did lend us a POS loaner wheel to get home. |
