No spare tire, just like the C5s!

Glenn---like you, I've experienced other drivers creeping up to my Vette, just so they can have a better look. This happens at stoplights, but other drivers also tailgate Mary for the same reason---or else they're just not intimidated enough by Mary's size. This does <i><u>not</i></u> happen when I drive my wife's Ford F-150 pick-up. Other drivers give us a wide berth with her!

1. don't have the same diameter...had 17s (wheels) on it nowand 315s on the back!

I guess I wasn't clear - the wheel diameter doesn't have to be the same, just the overall tire diameter. I'm guessing the 315's are 40 or 45 series, or about 27" diameter. That means a 15" wheel and 235/70 tire would be the same diameter.

(I am not checking any tire charts for these numbers, but you should get the idea.)

>>.OH!! OK....see what you mean now!!..diameter...all the way around!!! DUH!!! must be that blonde hair dye I used a week ago!!! ........seeped into my brain!!!!

Just make sure that your spare is the same O.D. as your regular tires. Mismatched tire diameters on the rear will eat a posi in as little as 40 miles!!!
