Al,
At the time the photos were taken I had  Michelin 175 ZX 15s  installed. I had 
to move both buffer blocks in the boot and I could not fold the original 
support rod. Steve Thomtonâ??s gas strut worked for the 175â??s without any 
conflict.  I now have Michelin XAS 180HR15 tires on the car, but I went with a 
smaller spare.
