The original Cobras had spare tires or, at least a space in the trunk designed
for one. If your car has a replica trunk then you can have a spare made and
drop it in. All the replica hold down fittings are available. If you want a spare
matching the wheels you have on your car, buy a wheel and have it narrowed to
about 5.5" and mount a tire. It will look right but will not be cheap. To buy a
new 6 pin FIA wheel and have it narrowed will be ~$600 plus tire cost. Total
cost new complete ~$800. Probably more about look than necessity but now
we're talking about the whole Cobra Replica game.
