Plus my spare tire was a four bolt spare saver wheel. I was told after it was checked first round that I could be tossed for it but they just said technically the tire has to fit the bolt pattern of the car and they would let me go this time. There's one in there now that will bolt on! Always something isn't there.

...not only the bolt pattern, but you must also be able to pick up the tire too.
I know of racers that were told to pick up the spare and they couldn't...it appears the tire had been filled with either cement or lots of lead!
