      Which GM mini spares clear 13" brakes?

      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?

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      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.
