    I am looking to get a little extra room in the trunk of my 71 comet 2 door. I need to keep a spare in the trunk and was wondering if the 5 lug temporary spare from a later model Ford product has the same bolt pattern.

    Full size Crown Vic & Grand Marquis BEFORE '03 fit(back space wrong on later). Explorer & '94-up Mustang can work as well.

    Defiantly not Taurus, or any '80s/'90s T-Bird

    dia. is a consideration if you have a locking rear end.

    Install spare on front, move matching tire to rear.

    One of my friends recently drove around 50mi on a badly mismatched size donut, said it was no problem.
