Since the spare tires for these cars wont fit over C5 brakes I hoping a GTO spare would fit these cars. Do they have the right lug pattern and back spacing?

Considering I've seen GTO wheels on a 4th gen LT1 Firebird, I'm positive they do. Caliper clearance might be questionable, but I know the bolt pattern will fit.

^^^ i have heard of guys using the GTO spare as a front drag tire

go search the drag section

Wrong bolt pattern, sure you can make it fit...but its not the correct pattern. They are also not designed for what you're considering using it for and not a light choice by any means. I don't think they would fit over your calipers anyways. I'd say a C5 vette spare would, but they are not light, nor designed for what you're using it for.

I can build you a 17x4.5 drag wheel to directly fit over your C5 brakes. We use them on the C5 vette setups. It will be light, it will be rated for drag racing, and it will directly fit your brake package. I can also build a matching rear-wheel design too.


Here'a video of one that was built for M&H. http://www.mandhtires.com/videos/48_video_php9zetbx.wmv

Give me a call tomorrow if you need more assistance.

The bolt pattern between a "standard" / domestic GM wheel and an Aussie GM / Holden is not the same; it is close (only "off" by about 0.54 mm if I recall correctly - I did the math back in 2004 when my little brother got his 04 GTO), but really not do-able.

Either GMHTP or HPP did a conversion article (circa 2005) where f-body rims were actually machined to correct the bolt pattern mis-match, allowing the altered rims (which were wider than stock GTO 17" rims) to be used on a Goat with air bags raising up the rear end.

I have a pair that I use for front runners and they fit you just have to run a very small spacer so they don't look totally under the wells.

The bolt pattern on a GTO is 5x120mm
The bolt pattern on the 4th Gen is 5x120.65
There is .65 mm difference.
Close to what a lot of wheel guys do with 5x115mm and 5x4.5 (114.30mm)

0.65 mm - Not much, but enough that you should not 'force' them on.

and why would you want to run a heavy spare on there anyways

69TA

iTrader: (263)

did you personally weigh and compare them to anything?

they are not heavy at all.

ndfrsd6

iTrader: (5)

well there heavier than a drag wheel ......billet specialty for one ....

69TA

iTrader: (263)

what does your billet specialty wheel and tire weigh each?

I havn't weighed them, but I know from feeling one that one GTO spare with tire is heavier than both my my Alumastars with tires.

a gto spare is 13 lbs and cost around 80 bucks.

They are heavier than 13lbs, I can tell you that just by picking one up. I'll toss one on our Nitrous Scale when I get to work today.
