Modern Spare Orders😡 - Page 2

Just received call back explained to me now anticipated ship date is end of week with apology and explanation of supplier carrier failure to arrive. This seems to mimick what someone else has posted about truck breaking down.

Looks like my order was processed May 7th. I saw there was a delay on the website.

I did send a couple email update requests, but didn’t have a response. I have been too lbusy to follow-up. Still, they fill a niche and am hoping it arrives in the next few weeks,

Since week of April 20th

Just checked old e-mail, ordered in 4/2, got fed x tracking on 4/5 & shipment arrived on 4/9.

Must have been good timing as I apparently missed their inventory in stock issues

Then go for it. Not everyone wants a trunk full of junkyard parts.

Maybe between suppliers and shipping issues this was the perfect storm for delayed order shipping . I’m trying stay optimistic and hope this is isolated incident and will update this post of product if actually arrives. I explained to representative it should be bulk email website description in more detail or a follow up with customers on such matters in timely manner.

I ordered my kit on May 10th and it shipped May 29th. They sent me the FedEx tracking number. FedEx shows it on the way with delivery scheduled for June 1st.
Not quite the 7 - 9 day delay they post on the web site but it looks like it will be here soon.

Finally arrived after over month and half of waiting. The spare and hub centric spacer fits properly. The package components are compact and they appear to be of good quality.

I recieved my kit today. It sure kills the trunk space. I have 20 inch rims and it is smaller than my tires. Not sure how this will work on the back. I also was understanding that this was going to be a regular tire. It says temporary spare on the tire.

Why won't it work on the back. Overall diameter of the tire is the same as stock.

Corvette_Mike · 06-01-2018, 12:24 PM

There tire is at least an 1 1/2 inch shorter than my stock goodyear tire. Kind of concerned about this with the posi rear end. The quality of all the components in the kit seem to a high standard.

Factory stock tire diameter is 27.6" for LT and SS models. These are space saver tires and they're an inch smaller in diameter. That might be enough difference to be a problem for a rear axle with limited slip. I would probably move a front tire back and put the short spare on the front if needed.
