I googled camaro spare tire and immediately got the ebay link.

But, I think this solution sucks, because the tire is much smaller in diameter than the real thing and with a posi rear end, needs to be used on the front. So, if your rear goes flat, you have to move the original front to the rear and then put the tiny tire on the front.

So, I have a full size front in my trunk. It doesn't bang around because it is strapped down using the steel loops that are there to secure the full size wheel after being replaced by a spare (feature is intended for the LS and LT, but works just fine for an SS wheel.

Do you really need the trunk space? If so, get the ebay kit. Otherwise, get a wheel/tire from tirerack.com, a strap, lug wrench, and scissor jack from Autozone, and you are all set. With a full size spare, you can be on your way at full speed with no worries.
