full size spare tire in Type44

[Kneale Brownson]

My '86 5k parts car for the '87 also had a full-size wheel and tire in the 
tirewell (forgot to mention that example).  It was the 6J15 Aero wheel, 
which I use now for winter wheels on the '87.  The '87 had a 7J15 spare I 
use in the '91, but I've also put the '91's 7.5J15 wheel with a tire into 
the '91 wheelwell.
