Spare tire
 
I was just wondering what you all do (if any) about a spare tire/wheel for your Lat-G or PT cars?? :headscratch:

I generally dont keep a spare tire, because it seems everytime I have one one in the car, I will have to use it.. I have never been stranded or had a blow out, when I didnt have a spare on hand, but I have had blow outs about every time I have had a spare in my personal car.. LOL

With my Volvo X build, I completely removed the spare tire sump in the trunk, because it was just ugly in the side and rear profiles, because of it hanging down to far.

Ummm I don't need no stinkin spare tire. Oh wait I don't have a Lat-g car on the road :lol:

But my company car does not have a spare, it has an air pump to get you to the tire shop :idea: of coarse if you have a blow out on the highway you get to wait for the tow truck to come get you :rolleyes: great idea GM!! :snapout:

I use a 17" spare from 04-06 GTO. Its aluminum & clears my C5 brakes. Not sure if it would clear some of the bigger brakes some guys are running.

I also have the GTO Spare. The only thing I had to do was to open up the hub flange on the rim to fit over the C6 hub on my Kore3 brakes.

I use a 2003 Mustang Cobra spare, 17" clears my front brakes.

That depends ...Are our ladies in the room?? :peepwall:


I have stock hubs and LS1 brakes so I'd say a GTO wheel will work. My car may break down if I put Ford parts on her LOLOL ;) :popcorn2:

I have 5 identical wheels and tires. That way I don't have to hunt down another wheel if I hit something in the road or hit a curb. It is also the number 1 reason why I hate staggered wheel fitments.
