Rick,
Or Minx or Rapier with 15 inch wheels.
Now for curiosity - what will a 15 inch wheel help you accomplish?

I need the wheel for a spare tire in my Tiger Mark 1A that is now running 15” wheels instead of the 13” OEM wheels it came with. I do have an emergency spare from a Ford Fiesta that fits the bill but I would rather have a full size, ROOTES tire in the trunk.

Rick.. depending on what tyres you are running on the 15s .. you can use the stock alpine wheel with an equivalent rolling radius tyre....what tyres are on your 15" wheels?
A spare with a 165/80/13 is probably fine

So here we are. It's an emergency wheel from a Citroen C3 Pluriel in 15" and 4x108mm which fits excellently without any distance piece. It also fits with a Willwood brake, but is space saving and rather light. However it is limited to 80km/h max speed, but enough to bring you to the next tire service. They are rather cheap over here around 60-80 € /pc. Not sure whether this Citroen Model is available in US or not, but other Stellantis car brands such as Peugeot may have a similar ones. See the picture (proven on an actual Tiger):

Thanks for your input. As mentioned in my message, I have an emergency spare for a 2011-2019 Ford Fiesta that fits properly. But I want a full size, ROOTES wheel if possible.

Thought so. However you also need to consider the wheel offset. The one from the Citroen has offset 0 which is perfect for the application. On a side note: Wonder whether a Rootes 15" wheel looks that much different plus whether it has the humps to accomodate tubeless tires, but anyhow...
