Spare tire diameter

[sspeedstreet]

Hmm. Over on the Fiero Forum we respect everyone's car, no matter what they drive. We also read the question and do our best to help with a problem.

That said, if anyone else would like to help me with the tire outside diameter, again, I would appreciate it.

I would suspect the tire diameter is the same as the stock tires, so that the ABS doesn't get confused. On my S, which came with 17s, the stock tire sizes are almost exactly 25". If I don't see anybody else answer this, I'll pull mine out tonight and measure it.

I co-drove a Fiero rally car with a friend of mine (Doug Chase of Duvall, WA) about 10 years ago. I don't look down on them ... at least the engine is in the right place. More than you can say for a 911.

Lighten up pal - I was just bust'in on you a little . By the way, did you know that Fiero means ********************box in Spanish ?

I'm familiar with Doug's work, good guy.

And if you decide you want one let me know I have a spare that I don't use and will sell it for a reasonable price.

Thanks, that's what I needed.

I didn't think it would fit, I've only got 22.5" to work with. Guess I'll have to rely on AAA if I have a problem.

My GT3 has a collapsible spare that is 21 3/8" in diameter when deflated. I believe that any 996 4wd, or car that uses the 4wd chassis, (GT3/2, C4, or turbo) would use a similar size spare. Obviously I believe it could be used as a spare on a Boxster.
