Space saver spare for 1985 - 1989?

[George Rohrbach]

Could someone please tell me exactly which space saver spare tire they have, that works, for a 1985 Avanti?

It was many years ago, that a lot of owners switched to using one of these mini donut type, as full size doesn't fit in the trunk very well, if at all. I used to have one, but, as stupid as it sounds, I seem to have misplaced mine! I am unable to find this information, with internet searches.

Keep in mind, that the earlier ones are not an option, as the lug setup was changed to chevy with adapters, on this model. The wrong one, could have clearance issues.

Thanks in advance,

My wire wheel is actually off a 1987-1989 Avanti. One that fits those years, would work also.

Could someone who has one of these space saver tires, let me know what it is?

17" space saver off of a Ford 500 sedan.   I bought mine new off of eBay a couple of years ago.  Height was a perfect match for the tires on the car, fit into the spare tire well and allowed the floor to be flat.
