If anyone can *definitely* tell whether or not the 917K ran Le Mans with (or without) the little spare tire, please post! Well, the tyre was pretty much a 'space saver', and very hard to see in period photos. I'll continue to search but the best shot I can find is of a restored one in a museum.

As far as I can ascertain a spare wheel WAS required by cars running in the Sports Car class, which included the 917; presumably the prototypes didn't need one to be carried. I am not sure what source this fandom is quoting, but according to this comment, https://rr3.wikia.com/wiki/PORSCHE_917K#comm-256923 it sounds like the Tire and Luggage Compartment were required for the Sports class that the 917K was in.
