Question Bottle to spare conversion

I am planning to replace my N2O bottle with spare on my T/A I can't really figure out what spare size should I get. I have 245/50R16 tires and there at least two spare sizes on e-bay, claiming to fit... Please, tell me what is a correct size? Thanks.

What are the diference in the sizes? If the diferent size is in the rim I would get whatever is bigger. Maybe the bigger rim fits newer cars with larger front brakes? I have a couple of spare tires laying around, one from a thirdgen and one from my fourthgen, I'll have a look when I get home.

93-96 used a 15" spare tire, 97 and up went to a 16". Either would work on the car though as long as you dont have LS1 brakes up front or other aftermarket brakes.

I found this useless bit of info out last year when I tried finding better speed rated tires for my skinny 16" spare rim......they dont exist (bad idea for a pair of low cost drag skinnies)
