I need to get a wheel (rim) to mount a spare tire on before next season. I figure I can go to a junkyard and get a 15" Chevy rim with the right bolt pattern, but, I think the backspacing on "newer" rims may be wrong.

does anyone know a source to buy one or does anyone have a rim that they want to get rid of?

I have to have a 15" to clear the disc brake conversion.

Thanks in advance

Mike, how about a space saver out of a mid to late 80's Caprice or Monte Carlo? That should fit and clear the brakes. Any junkyard should have one of those lying around for cheap.

An 89-96 Corvette space saver is another one that will work well.

If you have a posi rear make sure the total diameter of the spare is the same as the good tire, if not it'll burn up your clutches.

I've got a space saver spare out of a GTA firebird............lightweight aluminum.........just to add to the coolness factor LOL
