mr.radon Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Don't have a spare. What is the size that came with the car so I can pick one up at the junk yard? What's the largest tire that can fit in the compartment? Model 1988 Gl Station Wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Just order a large pepperoni from Dominos. They will even deliver your spare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewcifer85710 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I hear a full-size stock will fit in there with a little deflating. Dunno the specs on the original donut (mine's shredded!) but I'd think a new (to you) one might be easy to come by from a JY or member.

ShawnW Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Full size stock 13" wheel will fit under there, no deflate necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 You should get a tire that's the same size as what you are running. Also make sure that the wheel you put it on is for an EA82 because EA81 wheels do not always clear the front brake calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I've probably got one in the tire pile. Full-sized or space-saver. Email me if interested. You pick it up and it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutweiller Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 If you are not sure what rim (ea81 or ea82) your spare is, whenever you have a flat, put the rear good tire on the flat one, and use the spare on the rear wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.szigi Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 i also have an extra space saver spare from an ea-81, if there is a difference?, that would be yours free and i'm a little closer (edmonds) then qman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongo Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I've got the original spare to my my '86 GL wagon 4wd if you want it........I keep a full size spare in the back instead of in the engine compartment. The original spare still holds air and as far as I know was never used by the original owner I bought the car from...........Let me know.........Chongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I went out and checked my 82 spare..... It was a t135 70d 15. How about that a 15" rim for subies? Aint no way your gonna get a super swamper on that rim:banghead: Glenn 82 Hatch, transformed! 01 Forester, stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84Scoobaroo Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I got a 185/70/13 under the hood of my wagon, on a wagon wheel. Fits a little tight, but no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Yep, after getting a 185/70/R13 I got it to fit under the hood. It is tight but fits! I had tried one of my tires but I guess I traped the washer hose because it didn't fit. I also noticed there is a tie down point (fastener) in the trunk area the owner's manual tells you to use for the 185/70/R13 tires. They say in the owners manual it won't fit... Hee, hee..... Thanks for the Beta guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never noticed that.. will have to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
