Spare Tire Clearance Issues?
Fellow Members,
My 67 Coupe doesn't have a spare tire at the moment. Since I am planning an upgrade to disc brakes in the next few weeks I was questioning potential clearance issues with a spare rim.
Has anyone experienced this and share their solution?
In the short term I plan to wait to get the spare until after the disc brakes are in so I can take some measurements to be sure I avoid clearance issues.

What size wheel are you running (or plan to run)? If you run the same size in the front and rear, just by a fifth wheel or a steel wheel of the same size. If you run a narrower front wheel, buy one to match that. You should have no issues.
