Front IROC wheel for spare
I have a 84 Z28 with IROC replica wheels. I have a set of spare IROC wheels from a 86 IROC that I destroyed. Will the front IROC wheel work on both the front and back of my 84 so I can use it as a spare??

I noticed that the front stocker looked like it had the same configuration as the replicas, but wasn't sure about the specs. Thanks TA.

I'm sure it will work. I got the joke. I have other Camaro wheels to use as a spare.

Re: Front IROC wheel for spare
Does a 16" iroc rim (front) fit in the trunk well of the car? I wanna relocate the battery to the rear spare compartment but if i go on a long trip i'd like to have a spare just in case.. I was thinking that ONE universal IROC wheel would do the trick.. If not, I guess it'll have to go in the back seat lol

Re: Front IROC wheel for spare
I don't think it will go in there, but it will fit in my wifes trunk. I don't have a spot for a floor jack either, but I'm not takin that clunky jack for a ride when I can have those tools delivered. From what I gather a front IROC wheel will get you home on either end of the car, but it won't fit in the quarter panel I'm sure.

Re: Front IROC wheel for spare
Note the instructions/pictures in your owner's manual. The semi-circular cut in the carpet on the down slope of the well hides a place for the tire stowage bolt. The tire must be fully seated into the depression to provide clearance to window (full size flat).

Re: Front IROC wheel for spare
The front iroc wheels are a 4 3/8" back space and rears are 4 7/8" back space. I use a rear on the front but put longer studs and 1/2" spacer. Using fronts on the rear you might check clearence at wheel well.
