Will a 15 by 5 brm fit in the spare tire well of my 60 or do I need to get a 15 by 4.5? Also what tre size should I use on the spare? I have 185/60r15 on the front and 195/65r15 on the back.

I have a 15 x 5 BRM with a 165R-15 tire in my 67 spare hole right now.. It's a bit of a squeeze but it fits.

I would try pulling one of your fronts off and try it.. a 60 series tire may be too wide.
