Default Spare Tire/wheel

Need help!!!! Can anyone tell me whether the 2015 Vert 2 LT Z51 comes with a spare tire/wheel? My build sheet indicates"5A7-Wheel Spare and 9L3 -Spare tire".
Don't know what excactly this means. I thought run flats do not have spares. At least our 2010 Vert has no spare. Any helpful input is appreciated
Thanks Heidemarie

My C7 vert has no spare and no place to put one. Even if there were room you'd need two since front and rear are different sizes.

N0. Last time a Vette came with spare tire/wheel had to be pre run flat days. Not an expert. But, I would say mid nineties?

Unfortunately I do not know how to copy/attach the build sheet to this forum. It is a PM from Marissa GM CS. If you tell me how to attach a PM
I will gladly post it.

Those RPO codes should be followed by the words "not desired" or something similar. They are standard ZrPO codes for other, non-Corvette, vehicles. In the case of the Corvette there should be some indication that they are not included.

Last time the Vette had a spare was in the C4 days. No C5-C7 has had a spare tire from the factory.

Starting in 1997 no more spare or jack. Also if you had runflats in 95-96 you could get spare delete.

Boy, that is ugly. What a huge waste on time and money. But we now know where the spare goes.
