Another option is to get a tyre/wheel from a TR3-4.=C2=A0 It has a narrower=
rim and tire and will easily fit if the 205 just barely fits.
I have a space-saver spare but I forgot what it was from.=C2=A0 It opened u=
p a nice bit of room in the well.
So, does the new tank have a larger capacity?

Subject: [TR] Space-saver or full-size spare?
I had an aluminum fuel tank from Boyd Welding installed in my 74 TR6. I kne=
w that it was larger than the standard tank. So when I picked up my car, I =
wasn=E2=80=99t surprised to hear that my spare tire was a tight fit. Only t=
oday I found out that the spare fit only because it was deflated! Fortunate=
ly I made the discovery in my driveway.
So I need a spare tire.
What is the thinking of list members for getting a =E2=80=98space saver=E2=
=80=99 tire instead of one that is full size?
I wouldn=E2=80=99t plan to drive far or quickly on a space-saver, and havin=
g flat space in the boot would be nice. On the other hand I=E2=80=99m not s=
ure if my tailpipe would drag or whether a short drive on the space-saver w=
ould cause other problems.
The (deflated) spare is a P205/65 R15. If I were to replace it with a full =
size tire, I plan to look at something as narrow as a 175/65R15. Being 30mm=
more narrow might even allow me to inflate my spare!
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks so much.
