    Does a 15x7 Fit as a Spare?

    I've got a '73 car with the regular US-spec steel tank (62 liters, I think). Does a 15x7 fit as a spare? How about for the 85 liter plastic tank?

    Thanks,
    Ed

    My '73 S came stock with 7" wheels, including the spare, and it fits fine with the regular tank.

    I don't think that a suitable spacesaver tyre is available for a 7x15" wheel to enable it to be used as a spare with the 85L tank.
