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.

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.
