March 15, 200422 yr 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.
March 16, 200422 yr 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.
March 16, 200422 yr 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.
March 16, 200422 yr 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.
March 16, 200422 yr 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.
March 16, 200422 yr 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.
March 17, 200422 yr 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
March 19, 200422 yr 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!
March 19, 200422 yr I got a 185/70/13 under the hood of my wagon, on a wagon wheel. Fits a little tight, but no problems.
March 22, 200422 yr Author 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.
March 22, 200422 yr 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. Really? Never noticed that.. will have to look.
