Apologies if this subject has been covered previously but what is the correct size tyre to fit the spare wheel well on a 3a; I’ve just fitted a 155/80 tyre to a brand new wire wheel & it doesn’t fit, in fact it’s not even close. Before buying this size tyre I tried a steel wheel with the same size tyre & fitted fine.

thanks

Roger,

I wouldn't quite call it a "collapse" but weight in the boot
over the years will gradually stretch the flat boot floor and
it will 'ding' downwards, quickly reducing the critical depth
of the spare wheel compartment to the point where the
spare wheel will not fit (or cannot be removed!).

A competent welder should be able to spot-shrink the floor
back to original profile.
