As a general rule, only the campers got the spare tire under the front end, as
the rear location was inapropriate combined with the closets. The 88 Syncro I
previously owned was a camper, it had the spare under the front end, the 87
8-pax I have now has it in the rear, over the engine.

The front mounted spare was a M-option, it was M 343 and if so it should be
printed on the M-list on your vehicle. To see the whole list, go to my web site
@ http://members.tripod.com/perlindgren/ and you'll find it under the rear
engine section.
