Anyone carry a "temporary use spare" in their car?
Just bought a ford temp spare on my latest salvage yard trip. Measures 24.5" dia 4.5" width BBP, holes for 1/2" studs. Will clear rear discs on xploder 8.8, and front discs with cordoba rotors and calipers. Looks rough, but thats just the dirt on it, its never been used. I will wash it, and hit it w a little armor all. It wasnt in a trunk, but i eyeballed evilbay and matched up pix. Ebay listing says its from 2002 grand marquis / crown vic. I am sure theres other years it can be gotten from. I need a second one for my kids car too. Price was right $10 at the u pull it. I plan on running 225-60R15s which are 25.6" diameter. So for temp use it should not be too awful on a limited slips clutches.
