I need some help finishing 'Plan B' while I wait for my wheels to arrive.

After I install my Baer brake system (track model) on my '84 Monte Carlo, my current rolling stock will be useless. Which donor cars should I look to for mini-spares so I can roll the car around?

'02+ Vettes (IIRC)

Thanks. Are F-body wheels too small for the 13" front brakes?

Corvettes haven't come with a spare tire since '96.

I'm supporting the front end of a current build with Corvette mini spares, 17". But it takes 3- 1/8" spacers to clear the calipers of my Track 4 brakes. I believe these spares are from C4 corvettes.

1988-96 Corvettes have a 17" spare. They will clear C5 brakes.

1984-87 Corvettes have a 16" spare. They will not.

I paid roughly $50 each for the 5 I have.
