Info on 5-bolt alloy limited-use spare
 

Hi - I need to know the specs of the spare wheel that came with the RX7T2 and possibly other models as I may need a set of them(!). Can anyone tell me:

1. what are the rim specs. 15x4?

2. what other models/years came with this? I know my old 87 TII had the 5bolt 114.3 pattern and had this spare, but did the GTUs come with them too?

3. What I really need is a set of really narrow 114.3x5bolt rims for my rally car, preferably in 15 inch and about 5 inches wide. 16 inch may be useful.

4. Anyone have a set (4 or 5) available?

Can someone just look in their hatch?

Best, Andrew

i think it was on the turbos only. My GXL spare is steel. I dont think they are very strong either.

mines a steely... (89 GX) (I'm starting to think the G in GX stands for ghetto... :D)

The temp alloy spare on my 'vert is a 4x16 with a 30mm offset. It uses a T135/70 D16 tire.

The problem for using it as you are suggesting is that the alloy rim is only rated as a T and not a J or JJ or JWL rim. Meaning it is only rated for 100 Miles at less than 85 miles per hour.

I don't know how long that would last in a rally application. You probably would be better off using the 14X5.5 4 lug phone dial wheels found on the series 4 base and SE/GX cars instead.
