[urq] Re: Looking for spare wheel

[John Karasaki]

The later urqs came with the 215/50/15 tires.  The early ones with
205/60/15.  Notice I said 215/FIFTY/15 not SIXTY.

Some of the non-turbo 5k Avants here in the US had the right diameter space
saver spare, but they use a 4x108 bolt pattern.  Trivia: non-turbo 5k
wagons had spare in vertical compartment on left; tq wagons had bigger
spare or full sized wheel in the middle trunk compartment.

Wow this must be a slow day.  Not very exciting topic thread!
