They are not speed rated. They are not safe. It's not a good idea. Don't do it.
Also, good luck finding a tire for it. I called so many places about a year ago and nobody makes ANY kind of tire that will fit the spare wheel.Keith - Chicago<br /><a href=\"http://www.hptuners.com\" target=\"_blank\">HP Tuners - PCM Reprogramming</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dxsoftware.com/magnus/\" target=\"_blank\">97 Firebird V6 to LS1 swap</a><br /><b>V8 9.967@132.78</b> 1.322 60\' NA Heads/Cam<br /><b>V8 10.295@128.48</b> 1.363 60\' NA Cam Only<br /><b>V8 10.987@119.31</b> 1.422 60\' NA Stock Internals<br /><b>V6 13.674@98.22</b> NA<br /><b>V6 12.394@104.91</b> N20 100HP

Plus, if you happen to lose enough weight to get your nose to raise off the ground, your going to land on those tires when it comes down.
I would hate to trust a spare in that kind of situation2001 75th Anniversary V6 Pewter Firebird w/ Chrome Wheels, T-Tops, & Y87<br />Mods: Free Ram Air, !Silencer, Holley Filter, Full 3\" Hooker Catback, 3\" Cat<br />Best time: 15.095 at 90.00 MPH with a 2.127 60\'

Low rider tires don't fit on this spare rims? The skinny a$$ 14s don't fit on this?

I thought of doing this too, but I am not sure the track tech would allow it. You can try, jsut bring 2 extra wheels if they do not let you pass. I haven't had the guts to try it, even with the very ghetto security\tech at the local track. Trust me nothing makes you more nervous then seeing at least 6 cars with beer in the cupholder, and some drunk guy practicing his launches behind you in the staging lanes with a mid 10s monte Carlo.
