Spare RIM, NOT the tires. They have Race Master tires on them. You can only go 55mph on the spare tires. These are only $70 each new from GM.

Do you have spacers on the front? Kinda hard to tell in the picture, if so what size? Looks good!

You can still get the GTO spares from GM? If so, what's the part number?

been using gto spares for the front and c5z wheels for the rear on my C6 (not Z06) for almost 2 yrs...suprised some people haven't seen others doing this also on this forum already...i believe you can still get them from gm...i found them on gmpartsdirect.com i believe...but i got mine off of ls2gto.com or ls1tech.com...i love my setup b/c it is super light and much cheaper than having to do ccw drag pack

I've seen the setup, nobody ever said that GM still sold the GTO spares. Anyone have a part number?

My 2-wheel rear drag pack is exactly like yours. Stock fronts can stay for the ride
