Default Re: Anyone buy the spare tire?

For those of you that's ordered the tire and rim from the part numbers listed in this thread, they both fit together without any problems?

When I dropped my parts off at my mechanic today, the contact patch of the tire is only about 2/3 the width of the rim! They don't seem to be a good match.

UPDATE: The mechanic wasn't able to mount the tire. He said it was too small for the rim. Since all the numbers are correct, I don't know if it's a problem with the parts or the mechanic was inept.

The rim is stamped: 15X4T TOPY 7 06 05 D2.3 SDA
The replacement door decal says the tire should be: T135/90D15 100M
The tire says: Goodyear T135/90D15 100M

Why would the rim be so much wider than the tire?
