Went to charge battery in trunk of my 13 Camaro! And to my surprise not only was there a fix a flat back there! But also back there was a spare tire that fit perfectly tucked with a jack! So many stories of these cars not having a spare but only the fix a flat kit!

SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY �� I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING ONE!

Nice. You are one of the very few that has a spare much less a jack.

score...i would love to find that in a junkyard for my car.300 bucks online is more than i want to spend.might settle for a front wheel from an SS or RS though.

Shan · 09-09-2019, 08:32 PM

Yes $300 is too much!!

V8 cars don't have spares, but from what I understand, V6 cars do. The issue the V8 cars have is their brake calipers hit the wheel of the spare that the V6 cars have clearance for.

I had a spare in my car. Took it out for weight reduction. It's like 155 on an 18" rim. My car would be so lopsided with the 245/40R20s up front and 275/45R20s in the back, stock.

Well, maybe he never actually checked inside his trunk for a spare. He just searched online and assumed that he didn't have one.

However, the pic that he posted confuses me. If his car is white according to the profile pic, wouldn't the trunk panel under the spare and battery be white too? My car is Summit white and the trunk well underneath the spare and battery is Summit white as well.

Because he pulls pictures off the internet and uses them as his own...kinda like he did on the other thread but he deleted it. Sorry not falling for it. I wasn't born yesterday.

The word dick springs to mind, why would anyone do that?

Sir Nuke · 09-10-2019, 05:29 AM

Shan....it shouldn't have been a surprise, seeing as how you have a V6, as ALL V6 cars come with a donut spare and a jack.... the REAL surprise is the fact that there was a can of fix-a-flat there.

Shan · 09-10-2019, 05:37 AM

Lol I guess it was vice versa for me knowing that it came with the fix a flat and not the spare
