Spare tire and slicks - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I ordered my ZL1 in 12 with black wheels but it came in with 5 spoke.
After looking for awhile I found a set of black factory wheels with tires(new car swap at dealer)
Two questions
Think about getting some slicks to put on the 5 spokes and was wondering what has been used and how you like them?
Also was thinking I could use the front tire for a spare. Will the front wheel and tire work as a spare for the front and back?
Thanks and I'm sure all these questions are already answered on this forum

What size are the wheels? I think 17 inch is the biggest slick u can get.

YOU CAN GET SLICKS UP TO 20" THAT WILL FIT THE STOCK RIMS. MICKEY THOMPSON'S HAVE WORKED THE BEST FOR ME.305/45/20. OR YOU CAN GET CUSTOM WHEELS FROM BOGART OR OTHER MANUFACTURERS.
SHOP AROUND AND SEE WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOUR HP/TRANSMISSION/REAR GEARS.
