spare tire

Post by Gerome »

I am looking at getting a spare tire and was looking at the camaro steelies with the rings . Wondering if they would fit ? I see them on Craigslist really cheap . So if anyone has done this or thought about these let me know .

Did your car (PPV?) not come with a spare?

The Camaro steel wheel will fit, no problem. The rim width is 7.5" vs 8" for the PPV, but that's not going to cause any issues.

Where are you located? I just won a set of Camaro rallys off ebay for cheap and figured I'd pick them up this weekend. No PPV yet...but I'm making preparations.

I think the full size spare was an option for all years. Unless they eliminated the option along the way? Can't imagine they would cops need to have the full size spare to keep the car in operation.
