Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I have already purchased the  
Vredestein, so I'm stuck with it so to speak. I am going to try the scissors  
jack suggestion and see if I can squeeze out an eighth to a quarter inch or  
so to get the tire in and Rich thanks for the suggestion of the hefty, trash 
bag  covering half the tire, great idea. And David, I totally agree with 
you about  the dangers of driving with older tires. I wouldn't have done it 
except one of  my new tires went flat, not the tires fault but rather a 
problem with the tube  and this was the reason I was driving with my spare that 
came apart. I was  waiting on new tubes and so was driving with the older tire 
on, but now I have  four fairly new tires (that all fit in the spare tire 
compartment) and one brand  new one that I will get to fit one way or another.
    Thanks all for the feedback.

VW tires  will fit in the spare tire opening  They are a little small  
for  the car but how often do you need your spare tire. Hopefully never.
Also  this a reminder to check the dates on all your tires. The  
seperation  is usually caused by a old tire. And any tire that is over  
8 years  old should be considered for replacement. I have found cars  
here in  the shop that are driven on the road with 15-20 year old  
tires. very  dangerous.
