They do not make a spare for the SS.
You would have to use a full size wheel and tire.
If you can even fit it in the trunk, that's the only thing you'll have in there.

Someone made a kit for this for about $500 on ebay but has been removed. The email address was dumars14892@yahoo.com
Got it from this thread
http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126448
Might still work.

and if you REALLY wanted to.....you could put a FRONT wheel/tire in the trunk....it WILL fit. the bad part is doesn't leave much room for much else. There is at least one guy here on the east coast that does that whenever he takes long trips.

That's me. Just old school I guess.
Any long trip and I take one Extra front tire & wheel. It's strapped in the trunk.
I can also get one carry on suitcase in there plus whatever else we may need. That and plus AAA and I'm all set.

Sir Nukes spare kit has the advantage of added trunk space and a jack but the disadvantages are the high cost vs a used front tire/wheel. The Donut spare has limited use/50 mph max speed so on a trip you still should replace it right away.
Either way on long trips I will not go without a spare.. Like I said- old school.
