Spare Tire Idea

[Jacksboys]

I am not sure if this is has been on here before, so I will post it.

I found a spare tire from a early 90's Jeep at a local junkyard.  It fit on a 77 Aspen that was there, so I figured it would fit on the Challenger.  I have not had time to test fit it, but I just wanted to share the information.  The spare is a 16X4 with a 125/90/16 tire.  It is about 24 1/4 inches tall and should be a good option to have more space in your trunk.  The best thing was that it only cost me $13.43 for the wheel and tire. 

Here are two pics:

That's an awesome idea, jacksboys!  I was wondering what space saver would work!

Thanks for the info!!!!

   I like your avitar also.  Could be a good option for a spare tire.

looks good, just be careful if you have a suregrip in the back. Putting a shorter tire than the other side will cause the clutches to slip/burnup constantly.  would work great up front though for sure! nice find

Thanks for the warning, but currently my rear is open, so nothing to worry about....yet.

Another option for space savers is any mustangs with the five bolt patterns and the older mini vans with the 5 bolt. I have used both.

I considered starting a new ricer trend, running a spare on all 4 corners.  Kinda like the matchbox wheels they used to run.

   That might give then another 20 hp.

Imagine the burnouts you could do with donut spare tires!!!!   

Might only need like 100hp!
