N90 aluminium wheel spare tire

[Erik S.]

My TIM's are "on loan" so unable to look this up - question: if your late C3 was equipped with the N90 alu wheel option, would your spare tire also be an alu wheel or a regular steel wheel? If it was the alu wheel, would the spare tire tub be bigger or have different hangers?

Thanks again all, erik

The spare tire tub was the same for all 1968-82 Corvettes. For any given year, there was no difference, at all, between the spare tire tub and attaching hardware for cars with rally wheels or cars with N-90 aluminum wheels.

thank you Mike and Joe -

so this space saver wheel - would this have the same diameter as a regular wheel (assume 15") or smaller? Or was just the tire thinner?

The space saver spare wheel was 15 X 5.
