Aluminum spare wheel and tire size question

In this style of aluminum spare tire/wheel was there a 15". I'm hearing there is a 15" but I have never seen one. All the cars I have owned and parted out I have never seen a 15" in this style but tons of 14".

Please be 100% sure in your response and you have actually read the tire size on the tire. I'm not trying to be an as- but I have gotten bad info before from this site.

Thx. in advance.

Re: Aluminum spare wheel and tire size question

Not to my knowledge, but I don't know much about these either.

Other than...I want to find an actual collapsible tire for either one, so I can have a spare tire again. I feel I'm pushing my luck of not having any spare tire in my car.

Re: Aluminum spare wheel and tire size question

I believe there was only the 14" in the spoke design(silver) and a 15" only came in the black painted solid wheel design.
