I have a '66 with Granada front brake conversion. I have an 8.8 Explorer rear conversion also. I want a doughnut spare tire. I have one from a '84 Lincoln Mk VII but it does not fit the front for some odd reason. It has a hard interference with the brake caliper. Does anybody know what modernish mini-spares will work? Maybe '90s Ranger? Explorer? '00s Mustang? I hate to go buy another one that won't fit.

My family’s 77 Granada had a mini spare. A Hollander Exchange (at the salvage yard) should help find something that fits.

I bought a '99 Crown Vic mini spare and it fits and clears, but it's kinda tall. I will dig out and look at my Hollander, but I really need something later than 70s/80s so that I can find it in the pick a part. Rangers appear to all have full-size spares. Couldn't find any Explorers with spares left, but I think they are full-size steel wheels. That leaves 5-lug Mustangs and Crown Vic I guess? Found one in a '04 Lincoln LS but the bolt pattern is different.
