Another troublesome issue I have. I purchased my 87 Vette and it came with no spare tire. It just had the empty spare tire unit hanging and making a lot of noise. So I removed it. But after trying to research, I found that the spare tire on the C4 is part of the rear collision and apparently without it, a rear collision could possibly cause more damage. So I plan to clean up the spare tire holding unit and replace it with a new spare tire. But I can see it is not the normal size tire, but it is also not a donut type either from my research online. But no one really gives details of what the spare tire is (or size). Since mine came without the spare, I have nothing to compare it to. Can someone give me some details about the spare tire in a 1987 C4 please. I see no online store that sells just the spare... so I am stumped. My Clymer shop manual doesn't seem to cover any details of the spare tire except to check in as part of the maintenance.
