Can you fit 4 20" rims & wheels INSIDE camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

jdwarren · 07-07-2014, 10:47 AM

Picking up 4, 2013, 20" Camaro Wheels later today from a craigslist ad that is an hour and a half drive away.

I want to know if I will be able to get them all in my car?

I could put 1 in the passenger seat, 2 in the back seat, 1 in the trunk?

Or 3 (upright) in the back seat, 1 in the passenger seat?

Anyone have any experience with 4 20" wheels and tires in their camaro?

Any pics/suggestions how to do it?

Thanks a bunch!

P.S. Will I just be able to lift jack it up and use a wrench to switch out my 18" steelies to these 20" rims? Anything else I need to do?

Thanks again!

Yes, they will fit.

I have put four 18"s (with tires) in the car a few times, and there was room to spare. I have no doubt that you will be able to fit the 20"s, especially given that outside diameter is probably very similar anyhow.

I have put three wheels in the backseat, and one in the front (however, the annoying seatbelt chime may activate the whole ride home, or until you buckle the passenger belt so the car thinks that your 22- lb. "passenger" is safe).

I strongly recommend bringing a big pile of clean bedsheets to wrap the tires... even just putting the tires into the car will transfer filth (yes, even brand new tires), and just a couple miles worth of driving can rub and chaffe your upholstery and trim. Wrap the wheels with the sheets (or towels, or shrink/ Saran wrap, or butcher paper, whatever), and you should be okay.

Also note that you may be able to wedge a wheel--- possibly two--- into the trunk.

I've put 4 tires this weekend. 255/55/R20
1 in the trunk and 3 on folded rear seat

I've fit $350 worth of candy and soda for the snack shack from Smart n Final in the Camaro and still had the front seat available, you should be fine.

Sir Nuke · 07-07-2014, 12:40 PM

yes they will......done it. I just put some old blankets in the seats and covered them so I didn't have or need to detail the seats after I took the wheels out.

ytown87 · 07-07-2014, 12:54 PM

put 3 fat chicks in the back once so im sure the rims will fit....

jokes aside...put the two fronts in on their side (rim facing fwd) on one side and the rears side ways (rims facing the side of the car) on the other back seat. you will need to move the passenger seat fwd just a little and thats all. cover with a blanket or something to protect the seats

I put 4 22inch rims on tires in my Camaro. 3 in the backseat, 1 in the trunk. No problems at all

Awesome! Thank you so much for the fast responses. Now I have to go pick them up and plasti-dip them!!

thekid13 · 07-07-2014, 07:37 PM

You can even put 4 305's in them too. I picked up a set of 4 Michelin PSS for a friend and fit them nicely in the car. 1 in the trunk 2 in the back seat and 1 in the passenger seat. Left the car smelling like new again.

Shoot you can even fit 3 in the back seat and 1 in the passenger seat (easiest with a convertible though)

thekid13 · 07-07-2014, 08:04 PM

Oh yeah also forgot you can fit an entire zl1 bumper inside your camaro. I did, just goes to show you that all those hours of playing tetris weren't in vain. Now if only I could've persuaded my mother of that.

Yes & Yes - just bring something to cover them up, the seats and the dash to protect from scuffs.
