Default 87 Vette need a spare tire

When I bought this Vette I didn't think to check for a spare tire and jack. I was able to go back and get a jack but none of his other 3 vettes had spare tires. I guess that I could check salvage yards but don't really want to pay for a donut, does the late 80"s Z28 tires fit my year Vette?

Only a narrow wheel/tire will fit your spare carrier, if I'm correct in saying this.

The 2004+ GTO spare is an aluminum wheel that fits the car and tub. The center hub need slightly enlarged to fit the hub htough. I did this and it is a nice alternative.


I have a few C4 donut spares available for $50 plus shipping.

Does it matter which year and model Toyota it comes from?

Good ole EBAY, I had to buy a jack and the spare. The P.O. told me they were an option back then. I think I paid around $100.00 with shipping for the tire and the jack ($45.00)came with a Styrofoam holder that doesn't fit my year (1990). Anyone interested make me an offer.

Spare was not an option but I think a spare DELETE was.

i just realized we have the spare and jack from my cousins old 97 corolla and it only has 4 bolts so i guess just the Camry donuts will fit.
