--===============3052546175040037306== --part1_194ef3.5cf68e7e.432479b9_boundary Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Has anyone tried an actual Ford Focus wheel? The basic ones that I've changed seem pretty small......2007-2008 year. Seems if the spare bolts up then the Focus wheel should too. Question is will it fit in the Tiger wheel well.

This spare is just a little bigger diameter than the tires I have on the Tiger. Rear axle fits fine - I see no problems here Front hub - there is a problem here - a 1/8' or 1/4" spacer would be needed to fit properly here but should work OK with a spacer. I'm not sure what that Temporary spare came out of - possibly Ford Focus - the label on that spare has a Ford # E2BC-1A479-AA also a Ford logo with 83 F stamped into the wheel so it is definitely Ford. It's not a spare unless you know it fits and functions like a spare should. Be sure to check if you have an alternate type spare - down the road is no time to find out your SOL. Ron Fraser What we need to take away from all of this is that no matter what you have or find for a spare tire you need to know for sure that is fits and is functional. Its not a spare if it does not fit or if it does not function well enough to get you down the road when you need it. I'll have to test fit that P155 temporary spare I have to see if it could work as a spare.
