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) . . .

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.

Rather have a 20lb gto spare that I could put on so he can lift the csr on the flat bed or at least get me to the nearest store. Gto spare is 26" tall I think which is only .4 of a inch smallet than my 315/30/18 and 275/35/18
