C6 Corvette 18" spare???

[CAMSTY]

I need a spare that will fit over my C6 Corvette Z51 brake setup, so I need a 18" C6 spare.........Do you guys know where would be the best place to look for one and also if any other G.M vehicles have the same size spare? I have looked over on http://forums.corvetteforum.com/ and didn't find anything yet.

2005 and newer GTO spare tire, the corvettes from 97 and up do not come with them and all the vette guys use the GTO spare.

do they make a even make a spare? :lol: Don't most C6's come with runflats to eliminate need for a spare?

On a side note, how's Nats look? You gonna make it? :tup:

Hmmm, they don't sell the GTO up here so chances of getting it locally are damn small :rant:
Thanks

Yeah yeah, I forgot about the no spare deal

That's what got me to thinking I might need a spare, driving half way across Canada and then half way through the US and back without a spare would be asking for trouble. I still don't know for sure if I'm gonna make it though, but well see.

The 04-06 GTO part # for the spare is 92156731, but it's a 17X4, so I'm not so sure that would work because I need a 18" wheel to clear the brake setup. Ken do you have any input?

It's kinda spendy too, this is from gmpartsdirect.com
GM LIST: $403.99
OUR PRICE: $247.88

I was also thinking, if I did get a flat in the front I could just pull a rear wheel off and put it in the front and put my stock spare in the rear wheel location, that's the cheaper way to do it

PhoonTY is right, please come to Nats. You have one of the best looking Typhoons on the planet. I would love to see it in person. Any leftover Canadian Sy/Ty Nats wearables? Depending on sizes, I would be interested.

LOL, Thanks :tup:

Yes, I have a bunch of shirts and hoodies left, I'll bring some if I make it down, I'm having problems finding a co-pilot for the trip.

My wife and I will probably buy some hoodies! We love Hoodies! :rotf:

And if you don't make it to Nats, someday my wife and I will have to visit Canada just so we get a shot of our red Volvo next to your red Ty. :tup: So don't sell it anytime soon. :rotf:
