My solution was to purchase a modified aluminum Cobra-style wheel, 15" diameter but only 6" wide. 2 or 4 inches of the center section had been cut out, depending on the original width, and the halves welded. The wheel came with a 205-15 Goodyear street tire, same make and model as the others.

Towns in Montana are commonly 30 or more miles apart and I was not comfortable with the fix-a-flat option. Not any roadside tire shop can work successfully with aluminum wheels and I would likely have a hundred miles to travel before I found a shop with the necessary equipment and skill.

Dynamic Motorsports included the mounted spare in my Superformance. I did not need to use it.
