Mini tubbed spare tire/wheel ?

[Tim john---]

What is everyone using for a spare wheel/tire for their mini tubbed vehicle's ? I have a 69 Firebird that is mini tubbed and would like a nice, safe and trunk friendly spare tire/wheel combination. 5 on 4-3/4" stock GM axel. Thank You

About the only thing I can think of that will clear big brakes would be the 04+ GTO.

I think a lot would depend on your axle length and backspacing needed. A spare might hit your inner wheel well,caliper clearance,lower suspension etc etc. You might have to get a spare in the exact rim your using now. There's to many variables to recommend a spare.

As stated above AAA works to.

Sadly, I've been a member of AAA since 1992, and I actually look forward to being able to use it on a yearly basis. That said, the C4 Corvette came with a nice 17-inch donut spare that might fit over your brakes (mine are only 12-inch rotors) . . .

This ^^^. It's all depends on how big your brakes are/axle width, etc...

Also, I'm looking at cts 18" spare as well. One member over pt.com was able to fit cts 18" spare over his Kore3 Z51 brakes on his 2nd gen Camaro.

I think you need a spare tire diameter the same as your tires on the rear....

Some guys carry BMW and CTS-V flat repair kits. You can find them on eBay.

That's my plan too. A non-matching diameter tire is going to make your diff hate you, shouldn't get you much farther than AAA, plus you gotta haul a jack.
