      Using spare tires as temporary project tires

      Does anyone know what model or year car I can grab 4 spare tires from. I want to get the chassis back down on the ground. I would like to throw some spare tires on there that will clear 14" baer brakes. This will allow me to keep them on when I paint the body too, this way I won't ruin a good set of wheels.

      I have the Z06 14" brakes from Kore and used Race Star wheels...the Drag Star model. After I got my CCWs I kept 1 to use as a spare. Selling the others.

      I bought a set of 04-06 GTO spares, and they work great, but I'm running 12" Wilwood brakes, so I'm not sure if they will clear your 14" brakes. Might need to locate some 18" spares to clear those. I believe the 2010-2016 Camaros, have 18" spares.

      What about mounting space savers on backwards?

      You can make a set of shop wheels from 3/4" plywood. Flip the lug nuts around, use washers, and snug them with a wrench.

      Thanks, I will probably end going this route.
