    Spare tire wheel well is the same on SVO as is on LXs & GTs at least during the 84 to 86 run.

    The SVO used a 16" diameter spare wheel, to clear the massive rear brakes I assume.

    It's actually just the spare tire for the Lincoln. It is more to clear the fronts as well as the larger hub on the rotor. Of course being 5 lug as well.

    It will only hit the rear spare tire well under extreme bump conditions. You could clearance the well easily with a hammer to keep it from ever hitting.
