97 Spare?

[cj51973]

I need some help. My daughter bought a 97 Camry and forgot to look and see if the donut spare was there. The car is a couple hours away so I can't get information off of it. It is a V6 car. So, if I go to a pick & pull what am I looking for? What is the lug pattern (how many lugs)? What is the tire size? What years will fit? Will a full size tire fit in the spare well? Thanks.

Full size definiteley fits.

V6 requires at minimum 15" rim because it has rear disc brake.

5 bolt 4.5" (114.3mm) spacing.

60.1 mm center bore.

pull from any gen 4 V6 LE XLE is a safe pick.

The requirement for the 15" wheels has more to do with the front brakes than the rear. The Gen4s that came from the factory with 15" wheels have larger front brakes than the ones that came with 14" wheels.

That said, all Gen 4 have full size spares; but yes, as long as it's a V6, it will be good. If it's a 2000-1 LE or XLE, it will be ok also because those came with 15" stock wheels.
