Long story short I have found some super narrow and tall 15" winter/gravel tires but I am looking for wheels to fit them, they are about a 135 ratio, they supposidly fit on a 6" wide rim but I don't buy it.
My original plan was run the factory aluminum spares but the 4 lug ones were 15" I have 5 lug which runs a 16" aluminum spare...
Anyways I'm trying to find a 5x114.3 (5x4.5) 15" spare wheel 5" wide range with a hub bore of 59.6mm.
I saw these:

but all 4 with shipping is about 275 dollars, which isn't bad but their site says It doesn't fit but I'm sure it does, I'm looking to see what else I can do. Anyone know of good factory spares that I should look for? Possibly common junkyard find.
You didn't say how wide the tire is. Maybe they will fit.
135 ratio ?

Good thing this isn't a stance oriented website, then you'd have people telling you to put them on no narrower than a 9" wide wheel.
Have you looked into the spares for the 5 lug fox bodies?

Does it have to be aluminum? Because finding a 15" STEEL spare wheel with a 5x114.3 is amazingly easy and cheap. Look at Mazda 626/mx6/late protege, etc. or Nissan Maxima or ....
How wide are Dodge/Chrysler Caravan wheels? Same lug pattern and the center bore fits nicely over my hub on my Protege5.
I thought my FD spare I just acquired for my Miata was small as alloy donuts come. 16X4 on the upside they are 5x114.3
In reply to iceracer:
I'm not sure the exact size its an old michelin deep snow tire (M/S) it was 135/70/15 I believe. It doesn't have to be aluminum but it would be nice, my only concern is if will it clear the T2 brakes. That summit wheel I linked has a 3" hub bore (which is fine, but I'm not sure if the wheels are lug or hub centric) and a 0 offset. right now the stock wheels are 15x6 +40
I can pull off a 4" wide wheel but for strength 5" would work better.
I should have labeled the thread learn me spare wheels lol. Yeah I'll have to look into 5 lug fox bodies and the other suggested vehicles.
ah ha!
the tire size is 145/75-15
pizza cutters indeed.
That makes more sense than 135 ratio.
They should fit on 5.5-6 inch rims ok.
I ran 165's on 5.5 rims.
