Anyone have full sized spare for LS? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Vorador · 06-13-2010, 03:32 PM

I'm planning on going on a long drive in my camaro ls in a few months and would feel more comfortable if I had a spare. Normally I don't worry, but I don't want to be stuck on the highway in the middle of no where waiting an hour for AAA to come tow me.

Has anyone bought a full sized spare for their LS? I'm wondering where is a good place to get the 18" tire + wheel for a good price. I'm planning on getting a scissor jack and lug wrench off of amazon. Also, is there a good way to tie down the tire in the trunk, since it won't fit in the wheel well?

I wish it came with a spare, but all the LS in my area came with the pump and sealant.

I have a spare sitting in my garage and the compressor/fix a flat in the car. Spare tire was the only option on my car and I dont want it.

You could order the spare that comes from GM as an option.
I have one coming on my 2LT that is on order, but I have never actually seen a Camaro with the spare to see if it will fit in all locations on the car.

Why didn't you want it?
It fits under the floor in the trunk doesn't it?
Did GM also provide a jack?

Seems better to at least have something to put on the car to get off the highway, even if you just drive a short distance to a safe location to try to repair the full size tire.
You could always carry both.

If you order the spare for the camaro, YES, if fits under the floor in the trunk, and YES, if your ordered the spare you DO get a jack with it.
