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 have the boxster spare laying flat in the front trunk. Remember the spare tire is part of the crash protection.
