Collapsable spare tire question- will it fit? 914-6 with flares Options

[roundtwo]

Hello, needing a compact spare for my 914 six with flares. Currently, I’m running 15 inch wheels but I think in a pinch this could work. I think my rears are 225/ 60 17. Front 195 65 15 Pirelli cn36.

See pictures for rim and Tire six. To get me out of the boonies and back to civilization do you think this wheel would work?

Very reasonably priced under 100 bucks and basically new.

I am going to say this again.

The collapsible spare tires look great and save on trunk space. But remember, they are at a minimum of 20 to 25 years old. That means they are dry rotted, and when you try to inflate them, those folds are going to crack and split. Been there,done that. Don't count on being able to run it when you need it.

IF you can find a place that makes new ones, have it replaced. Otherwise get a 16 inch donut spare from a Boxster. It doesn't require a pump, and it will be there when you need it.

Otherwise carry your AAA card with you.

Good points Clay.... needs pump = minus 1 point. old rubber = minus 1 point. AAA= can be minus 1 point in the areas I drive as they're pretty remote at times. self rescue important
