Hey all,
I have 356 Replica with 58 or 59 rectangular gas tank that takes up a fair bit of room.
Thus, I'm looking for an inflatable spare tire to fit a 15 inch VW rim.
What solutions do you all have?

We use a domestic 15" "space saver" spare tire on a narrow VW rim.
Unless you can find an old 911 collapsible tire AND someone who can dismount that from the 911 wheel and mount it to your extra Speedster wheel.
But then you'll need a compressor.
A Mini Cooper spare tire works perfectly. I got one from a 2005 and a salvage yard. Its a 15 rim size tire. It is a very small tire and fits in my truck without a issue
You must have a very small truck if you have to state it can carry a very small spare tire. 
LOL. You got me Jon T
having P bolt circle I have a 16 inch 911 collapsible tire wheel and need to use a pump to inflate as Danny said.
If you have to carry an air pump to inflate your spare why not carry a plug kit and an air pump and fix your own flats?

Exactly. My Cayman includes an air pump and a big container of GOO(Leak Stop). I guess if the hole is 1/4" or less, I'm good. Bigger that that, call a rollback.
same w my 991.2, airpump and Porsche goop

I helped Anand with a flat on his Ferrari once. Found the screw in the tire, left the screw in the tire, added the top secret goo provided in the roadside kit, used the included air pump to get the tire pressure to normal, and followed him to the tire shop and got it fixed right. The trick is not to pull out the offending foreign object otherwise the goo doesn't work.
