Spare Tire for a 63

[Joe K.]

I currently have a Firestone bias ply spare, however it will only fit in the tire tub deflated. Are there any repro tires with a 1" white sidewall that will fit in the tire tub inflated. The repro US Royals seem to have the smallest diameter tire, however the judging guide states that the white sidewall should be 7/8" instead of 1" wide as they are listed in the Coker Tire Catalog. Any help would be appreciated.

The BF Goodrich repro tire will fit in the tire tub and has the correct size white wall. The original BF Goodrich was available for the 63 Corvette.
