Lean — over (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

spare

I believe this is a double definition.

'lean' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'over' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for spare that I've seen before include "Excess to requirements" , "This tyre around the middle is fat" , "show mercy" , "This tyre is for emergencies" , "slit at top of trousers in Scotland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Globe and Mail and The Sunday Times.
