Default Spare tire,size and type?

My car did not come with a spare tire or even the the carrier. Have everything now but the spare tire and rim. What did they come with from the factory, besides another rally rim what could you use for a spare rim and tire combo? Where to get one?

Any tips greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jeff :yesnod: :yesnod:

I'm currently in the same boat as you are. I bought my car about two months ago and it doesn't have a spare. I originally thought I could buy any old chevy rim and get a tire to work. I don't think this will work because the corvette rims have a different back spacing. I believe the rim has to have this back spacing to be correct. :auto:

They came with five wheel/tires of the same size. Spare was a standard tire.
