Really like this spare tire setup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found this setup on a nice C10 listed on ebay. Anyone run a setup similar to this and where can I find a spare-wheel with our bolt pattern which will fit nicely in the frame such as this:

It looks like a 15x7 96-99 van wheel with a modern spare tire lift adapted to fit the frame.

Good eye... I wonder what size tire that is

*project 67 sub* · 10-14-2011, 02:01 PM

maybe a 205/60r15 or so, couldn't be to much bigger from the looks of it

One of my back-of-my-mind projects is to fab up something similar (bolt up spare) once I get some other projects outta the way

Did I read somewhere that some Jeeps were 5x5" ? I wonder if any of them had a spacesaver spare?

i use a wheel/tire as a spare for my 71 that was on a 86 parts truck i bought, its a 195/60/15 i've thought of trying to mount it underneath. Its on the rear in the bottom pic.

Only 2007-up jeeps are 5x5.

for a wrangler yes, but grand cherokees switched over earlier (99 I believe) which would be more likely to have a space saver anyway. some of the other jeeps may have changed as well. They stopped making regular cherokees before the switch so those will all be 5x4.5

Astro vans were 5X5, I have a space saver spare from one I use for around town traveling.

It almost looks like just a hitch pin holding it up, stock wheel, tiny tire.
