The Z06 came with a repair kit that you could use on your C5 with non runflat tires. Another option is to use the spare wheel and tire that came with the late model GTO. These will fit on the C5. All you would have to do is to supply a jack and proper tools to change the wheel on the side of the road.C2, C3, C4 CorvetteAfter the VIN number the next most important thing to decode on your Corvette is the Vehicle trim tag. The trim tag can be located on the firewall or cowl area. It contains information about the specific model, trim, assembly plant, paint code, and a few options.
