Question: As a newbie, only attending one DE, what's the recommendation for a spare tire? I don't think the foam can in the trunk will work...LOL I have the LS with the different sized rims (9" & 10"); which size do I get? I'm assuming the smaller 9" rim would be best; but I really don't know? What have others done...besides buying a complete set of dedicated track rims and tires. I am planning on attending a few DE's this year and want to be prepared. Thanks

When I first started tracking my LS I did not have a spare just hoped for the best with the stock repair kit and thankfully never had an issue. With the stock rear sway bar not sure you can mix wheel sizes from what they are without some serious over/under steer. I changed bars and suspension and now run 18x10 all around
 
Check the For Sale forum. There were two Boss 302 front wheels for sale and they would make good spares. It's what I use for a spare.
