Whenever this thread pops up I always wonder the same question. Once you put the spare on, where are you going to put the wheel you take off? Leave it at the side of the road?

I think he's looking for skinnies in the front. LOL
I think the GTO spares are the best for that, if it is what you're going for. Otherwise, a 4th gen F-Body spare should fit as well.

93-2002. I had a 97 and 02 Trans Am and both spares were identical. I know that the C5 Corvette wheels fit on the F-Bodies, so you should have no problem with the F-body spares on the C5.

I tried to slide a spare wheel and tire in the trunk once, and the rear tires were too wide even to slide under the bulkhead below the rear window. I think the fronts would fit with some finesse.

I learned the hard way...
The LT1 spare ('93 '97) will not fit over the front brakes of an LS1 car (98 -02)
I used to have both cars, always left the spare out of them both for weight savings. One day I got a flat on the '02.... got a ride back home and picked up the LT1 spare (it was on top of the stack) and went back to my car. It wouldn't fit the front.... I had to go back home and get the LS1 spare.

All these ideas about how to fit a tire inside your car are great until you have a passenger (like for instance your pissed off wife) and some luggage. What are you going to do then? How about a roof rack and some bungee cords? Seriously, I also carry a bottle of Slime and whatever you'd need to fix a flat on the road. Plus, a cell phone and an AAA card.
