Subject:      16" wheel in front spare location?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

What modifications would be involved to get a 16x7 wheel with a 215/60/16
tire to fit in the stock tire location?

This is in a (non-syncro) 84.

Is the van-cafe oversized carrier enough?
(this one:

)

other solutions?

To head off the questions: yes I want to have 5 identical wheels and
tires.  I like to do a 5 wheel rotation.

thanks!
Wes
