[DML] Re: Delorean Spare Tire

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bolt pattern is 4" square. Chrysler was the only other manufacturer I
found with such in junk yards. Unfortunately all Chrysler factory
steel rims are 14" (will not clear rear brake hardware). I managed to
find a Stealth with 15" aftermarket aluminum rims. Fitted a brand new
Goodyear 195/50R15 radial to one of those and now have a spare
infinitely superior to the original donut. Only potential drawback is
width -- protrudes about 1" above the trunk wheel well lip in storage
(not an issue if you've ever seen my trunk).
