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’ll start by saying I had a space save spare in my 3.6 teener, so I’m guilty as the next. All these installs look great, but what do you with the full size once you’ve replaced it with the space saver? Some space saver installs I’ve seen won’t allow a full size wheel tire to fit in the trunk and some flared car wheels are too wide to fit in the rear trunk.

Heavy duty contractor trash bag and sit it on the passenger lap if you have to.
