Will the 20'' rims fit in the trunk? (spare tire option) - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I used to keep a full sized 3rd gen Z28 wheel and tire in my 2nd gen trunk. And I did use it a couple times. Would I do it again? Probably not I don't like the extra weight and would just call a flatbed if the inflator didn't help.

use the smaller one in the trunk you can use the small tire in the back but you cant use the bigger one in the front .

It would fit on top only not in the hole of course. Battery is in there. And you have to tie it very well so it does not fly loose in a crash.

Digging up an old thread to quote because it seems a bit relevant to this discussion.

With those dimensions, you will never fit more than one full size tire/wheel in the trunk at a time unless you drop the backseat down. Keep that in mind if you ever get new wheels and need to get your old ones home from the tire store.
