What spare wheels will work as rollers for C5 brakes?
 

Pretty soon I am going to dump my car in the body shop, since I found out body work IS as hard as it looks. I'd like to take my wheels of so they don't get ruined, but am wondering what cheap/spare wheels will work withe C5 front brakes and LS1 rears?

I would look for those throw away spares with the 16 or 17" rim. They were used on a lot more cars then just 4th gen f-bodies and corvettes and should be easy to find.

Or you can grab up a front drag skinny wheel, like a Weld 16 X 4, You will have a real size tire and it will look nice in the trunk.

I need 4 of them and don't want to spend a lot of money.

I'd check the salvage yards for late model vette spares. They can't cost that much..

your othere option is to remove the rotors and just put on a few rim spacers. That is what weve been doing with my truck.

No reason to leave the good stuff on so the body shop can mess it up

I was actually thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I want to be able to get my C5 front/late camaro rear brakes completely installed, but there is no way they will fit behind the 14 inch SS wheels I have on now. The reason i need temporary rollers is because i have not yet decided on wheels. Is it safe to say that only the C5 spare will fit ovet the front C5 brakes?

C5 Corvette Spare
 

C5/C6 Corvette does not have a spare tire, it uses run flat tires. 1988-96 Corvette spares work, but plan on paying $50 each.
