Spare Tire / Doughnut

Does anyone know which space saving spare tire works with a stock 73 B set up?
After my tire blowout the other day I tried the one from my girlfriend's 97 Honda Accord.
The bolt pattern was correct, but the wheel dishing was too small to allow for proper rotation.
Basically, it kept hanging up on my caliper.

Mark,

The Saab 900 spare works really well.
Curtis (Brit V8 Editor) has one available and he lives just down the road to you. (No shipping!) See link.

Cool.
I'm still learning the site...so I guess I should have looked around before posting.
Oh well...nothing wrong with increased activity on this awesome site.
Thanks for the help.
