what size of tyre on space-saver wheel ?

Hi folks - the heading says it all, really ! Been offered a space-saver wheel from a 1979/1980 Cadillac Fleetwood, for nothing - it has the 5 stud pattern , but I'm wondering if its suitable for the Trans Am (1982) ie . will it fit ( it certainly looks the same as a Firebird space-saver, but I haven't been given the opportunity to offer it up to the hub to see if it fits ) ? If it is suitable , what size of tyre would I need for it , because the tyre is apparantly nackered !

thanks

Do you mean the black painted wheel?

If so, I never knew you could buy just the tire.
And I have no idea if it will fit.
I can go look at the one I have in the garage from an old 89 RS and get the tire size off it if that will help..............

'Scuse me, tyre

Hi Saywhut !

Yip , thats the one . The black painted one. Hope you can get tyres for it ..... maybe that's why I've been offered it for free !

If you could have a quick check , that would be great .

thanks for your help !
