What can I use for a Spare ?

[91SYRob]

My Syclone didnt come with a spare and I was wondering what wheel I can use and where I would get one ?
It did come with 4 old tires, 2 could be used again for a little while, one was trashed so i threw it out, and one I can use for a spare (if i had a wheel to put it on)

Re: What can I use for a Spare ?

I used a Pontiac 16" wheel that I got from a local Firebird owner for free (he gave me a set of 5 actually, so I painted 4 black and kept one as a spare). They require spacers to look correct in the rear, but for a spare I wouldn't worry with them. It takes the same size tires as stock wheels and will fit without clearance issues for the front or rear. If you wanted to use the center cap when running as a spare on the front, you'd need to cut the cv axle, but for a spare I wouldn't worry with it.

EDIT - I should say that I didn't mount mine in the stock location (doubtful it would).....just tossed it in the back when going farther from home. So, as you can see, I haven't really helped. LOL.

You were a huge help, that is exactly what I was looking for :tup:
Just found one on line for 25.00 and I'm gonna order it up and do exactly what you did
THANKS

It's on its way thanks again. Can i use the normal lugs or do I need to order something different ? I have the center cap wrench, jack, tire iron, etc all tucked nicely behind the pass seat so i think I'm good to go when it gets here.
