Question What spare tire does '95 Camaro need?

Simple question. I can't find an answer anywhere I mean small wheel, what was by default 20 years ago.
My current tires is 225/55R16. And I don't know what spare tire was in my car before...
Thank you!

Re: What spare tire does '95 Camaro need?

The spare tire pictures can be seen on e-bay for quick reference.My book says they can last up to 3000 miles. Sometimes called a donut or doughnut tire.If mounted on the rear you should not go over 50 miles per hour because the rear end gears will break.The front doesn't matter,but I would get a regular tire as soon as possible.Hope this helps.

Thank you for idea, I've tried to find it on ebay, but it costs crazy $100 plus delivery 245 and that's insane. I tried to find some similar at local bbs, found something similar with five screws and R16... But I still don't know if it fits. If I have R16 on regular tires, does it fit the same radius on donut?

I see there is a f-body club(camaro and firebird ) in Finland,near Estonia.I would contact them and maybe they can help direct you to parts for your car.Hope this helps.

Re: What spare tire does '95 Camaro need?

The spare tire is a "compact spare"... a narrow, speed-limited, high pressure tire on a narrow (4" wide) steel wheel. Tire size is T135/60R16.

From ebay:

Re: What spare tire does '95 Camaro need?

My 94 came with a T125/70D15 compact spare on a 15x4 inch rim. I think the 15 inch spare was used from 93 to 96 and then the 16 inch spare from 97 to 02. The 15 inch spare won't fit the 98 to 02 brakes so I think that is why it was changed. A 95 can use either one. The bolt circle is 5x4.75 inches. If you can't find something there that will work, and you aren't required to have a spare, just carry a can of fix-a-flat. A lot of cars in the US don't come with spares anymore.

Thank you very much, guys! That's exactly what I'm looking for)

Well, unfortunately, i'm not in US, but in Europe, and having a spare tire on board is mandatory here
