Hi all:


Original poster here.  I have done my homework (Larry's list was very
useful).  I have also since discovered that my spare tire on this rig
is a 14" non-C-rated tire, so I am going to have to do something
about that, too.


Can I run a 14" wheel & tire along with the 15"s for short-term use
as a spare?  Should I suck it up and buy a 5th 15" wheel & tire?
 From what I read, the only tire that fits in the clamshell without
modification is the Michelin Agilis.  Big Bucks!


How do you all with 15" wheels handle the spare?  There was
discussion on the Samba that mentions a Van Cafe "cage".  That's all
the info I gleaned that was of use.
