If deflated or, possibly, with longer bolts. It will not fit when fully inflated, for sure.

I have a P195/75R15 Temporary spare from a S-10 Chevy pickup. It fits the hub and clears the calipers. Do the following ONLY if safe. Break the lugs loose first as the sits on the ground. If you get a flat on the rear, jack the car carefully so you can remove the flat, switch the good front tire to the back and the temp on the front. The reason for this, the temp may not match the other rear tire in height, thereby possibly damaging the posi parts. If you are going a VERY short didtance for repair, ignore. Another thought is, carry a flat tire plug repair kit available at most parts places.

On my '67 I run Coker Classic 205-75R-15 radials. That tire size would not fit into the spare tire tub equipped with the longer mounting bolts. Checking the Coker catalog I found that the P185-15 radial had the same tire cross section as the OEM 7.75-15 bias plys. Found that the P185 fit perfectly. Bottom line is, check the cross section dimension to find out what will fit.

I put this combo on ebay but would still give a member first shot at it.
Definitely fits in the tub.
