    Those that are running 13" rotors and calipers

    What spare tire do you have?   My 17" rims barely fit with spacers.  So I was thinking it would have to be a 18" spare tire.  I was wondering if a newer ford explorer or something similar will work that doesn't have the Mustang price tag. 

    Thanks

    Thanks guys!  When I go to car shows I usually don't have the spare.  But driving around or to work I like to have it just in case.

    I always carry a spare.  Never used it on the '66 since new!  And when I installed the 12" rotors I got a 16" spare.

    The GT has one too.  I ordered it as an add on.  Ford thinks a squirrelly little air pump can refill it even when the bead is broken.  I've used it twice. When getting flats.  Nails in the road.
