I was looking into options for spare tires for my car I currently have Fbodys up front and planning on putting GXPs on the rear. Will the Bonneville GXP spare work ok with stock wheels? or should i just pick up an extra wheel and tire?

Thanks

these spare tires clear the front f bodys? and do you know what size they are? being i have sts/deville wheels and they are 16's

i carry 2 jacks just in case i have a flat to put a rear on the front cause the regal spare wont fit over the f bodys.

the GXP spare is 17x4 spares just like the DTS/STS i just wasnt sure if the overall diameter was the same
 
You don't put spare wheels on the front anyway. Find one that fits the back and you are fine. I never understood why everybody is so worried about them fitting on the front.

i agree with ya, this is also why i have 2 jacks with me all the time. but for a short local trip it would be nice to just slap the spare on the front. not even a option with F bodys up front.

a larger spare could be taller and work better. closer to a stock tire. its a wing and prayer lol

To be honest. Not sure
I was just in the junkyard and came across it. I think it might have been off a intrigue. Fits over the 12" 06+ Monte/Impala calipers.

Now that I said, that could have been what it was off of. The 06+ Monte/Impala since they have 12" brakes up front.
 


New plan! Junk yard by me has a half off sale on the 1st so i will prbly just pick up a wheel for $30 with a decent tire
