Default got a new spare tire, differences?

Hey fellas,

I finally was able to pick off a good spare tire and rim from a junk yard.

It was off of a PT cruiser, looked a little different than mine, it had drums for rear brakes instead of rotors.

Not sure of the year of the car, but I noticed some differences in the size.

The tire and rim are exactly the same, but the inner part of the rim where the lugs go are slightly different.

are all of the spare tire/rim on PT cruisers the same?

I have pictures on my gallery:

New spare offset (new spare)

Old (damaged) spare offset. (old spare)



and then the opposite side:

DSCN2724.JPG (old spare)


Let me know fellas!

The GT's have disc brakes, shouldn't make that much difference as long as you use it for a spare.

Talking Re: got a new spare tire, differences?

Rear disks are usually indicative of a GT or turbo.
So, the wheel you found is off of the base model, and won't be used to going so fast.
