I=E2=80=99d think just abut any Fox body (4 bolt) space saver spare =
would fit. Ford used anywhere between 14=E2=80=9D to 16=E2=80=9D tires =
on those cars. If the spare (though smaller) was sized accordingly to =
the OEM tires they might come in a variety of sizes. Even though the FWD =
(Escort, newer Cougar etc.) cars are listed as having a similar bolt =
pattern be aware that the center hole (and likely offset) becomes an =
issue.  I went through a lot of that with my Pinto that shares the same =
4 X 4.25=E2=80=9D bolt pattern with the Tiger.

Also be sure the center hole for the hub fits both the back and front of =
the car.  Some of these are smaller than those on a Tiger or Alpine.  It =
may fit the rear, but not the front.  Or the other way.  Or something.

Happy hunting!

A possible solution to what to use for a spare and rim has been used by =
member Jim Armstrong and I hope he will chime in here.

What Jim did was to find a compact spare from a 74-78 Mustang. The bolt =
circle is the same as the Tiger, so it bolts on without
any difficulty. It also takes up less room in the boot, being a compact =
spare. Seems like a good solution for those who can do=20
without total authenticity.

As had been said, make sure you are carrying the proper lug nuts to =
attach your spare.

Cheers,

Tod
