    I have a spare wheel/tire that looks like a new tire and wheel is nice, but doesn't match my other wheels. Also it is a little too big to fit into the spare area correctly. The tire is also much, much narrower. The wheel has Dino cast into it and I doubt this is the correct spare. Is this something that someone would trade for or is this something I should list for sale?

    Thanks.

    Oops sorry I guess I should have added that my car is a '78 308.

    That is the correct spare for a Euro Model. I asked the same question about my spare in this forum when I first got my car. Mine is a '79 GTS Euro. I would not sell it. I almost made that mistake. You will be hard pressed to find another one.

    Best photo of a spare tyre I have ever seen.

    This is not at all uncommon according to what I know about these cars. Just enjoy it!!!

    Wow Thanks guys! That is exactly what I have. I thought for sure that would be the incorrect spare. I'm glad I asked first.

    Yet again, one more reason this is an awesome forum!

    My 308 is also a Euro and has the same spare tire.

    He keeps it safe next to his jet.....LOL!

    I had one like that in one of my early GTBs, I threw it away...

    But I run full size spares...always.
