275/40-R20 in the trunk? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Rock-It Man · 01-03-2011, 12:34 PM

Has anyone put one of these, mounted, in the truck of a Camaro?

Obviously, I can find out by taking a read wheel off and trying it, but hopefully someone can save me the trouble.

Thanks in advance.

It won't fit in the space where the battery is. I am not sure if it will fit in the trunk area.

I know that it barley fits in the trunk, didn't try mounting it. I stick one drag radial on the trunk and on in the back seat when I go to the track. You can always use a 245 for a spare.

You have thit a very flat entry angle to get it in there.

I do plan to use a 245 for a spare. It won't fit in the well, but there are tie down loops in the trunk to keep it safe and secure.

But, if the flat is the 275, I want to be sure I can put it in the trunk and keep traveling!

What size is the drag tire you put in the trunk?

I will have to try this going to CF2

Will a small passenger (kid) fit in the back seat along with the tire?
