Spare tire pic ?

'74 Sport said

For you guys with the fiberboard cover, does it lie flat against the trunk floor or is it raised slightly by the tire? If flat, what is the correct tire size to fit in the spare well? Anyone know why some cars have the full-size board and others have a smaller one (approximately 12"x12" square)?

Jerry,
It does not lay flat against the trunk floor with the original tire.
There is about a 2"-3" gap.
I will check the original spare size tomorrow. I believe it is around a 185/70-14
I'll check tomorrow.

No idea of the different size boards.Have seen them though.

If my memory serves me correctly you have been kicking this (spare tire) issue around for a while with Aarons car ?
