Spare Tire Alternatives - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

XfireZ51 · 04-28-2014

With the Z06 rear brakes now installed, I decided to see if the stock spare would fit. AH not really. The Nitto Invos are not RFs, so been looking for some alternative to the stock spare that would fit over the 6 and 4 piston Z06 calipers. Somebody does sell a spare that will work but its priced at $900.
Basically a chopped and narrowed version of an 18" C6 wheel w rubber.
Been looking for the CTS-V spare which is supposed to fit w a spacer but these are difficult to come by. BMWs have a similar issue and I have heard that the emergency tire kit for BMW, made by Continental, is supposed to work pretty well. If its a puncture this should work well. A sidewall blowout is another story.

Anyway, cheaper to just call roaddside and tow on the if/come that its needed.

I have attached pics of the kit for anyone else looking for a spare. Pretty reasonably priced at $55 off fleabay.
