spare tire
I have a 2006 C6 Z06 and want to know if an C6 Z06 OEM front rim and tire can be used as a spare for the back tires as well (just to get car home in case of a blowout). Thnx

But if you need it to get home it'll work.
Personally, I carry a plug kit, a flashlight & gloves and a compressor and an AAA card...and I hope for the best.

Thanks Joe, good info.
It'll fit but the different height of the tire will not be good for your posi if you drive on it for a long time. And your active handling will likely come on from time to time from the size difference.
