Wink Tire Replacment Dilemma

With less than 4000 original miles on the Run Flat Tires, Goodyear has agreed to pay $1000 toward the replacment.

I am going with a set of the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires.

I would like to put a "donut" spare tire in the trunk. Here is the dilemma. The CTS spare has a 5 lug pattern and the CTS-V uses the 6 lug pattern.

Please suggest a solution to this problem.

Thank you,
Michael

well, the most common thing is a full size cts-v wheel an dtire of your choice....

I haven't seem a small or donut type of spare for the V yet but it could be spun, i guess..

Finding any donut to fit over the 14" brakes is almost impossible so far

no dice...plus if it isnt the same diameter as your stockers, youll really **** up your rear end. Toss a full sized spare in the trunk tub and youre all set
