I would be surprised if you could get 2 in the trunk. Maybe one in the trunk, one in the back, one in the passenger seat

I got a set of SS wheels/tires in a Sebring convertible. One in truck and 3 in back seat. I put the ones in the back seat side by side - about 31" and had to move the front seats foward seat some but still comforatble enough to drive. No way you will get 2 in a Camaro trunk

Yep, you can fit at least 4 19" tires & rims in the Camaro. I had to do this to transport my all season tires back from a Tires Plus 250 miles away. It was the only way, and that is the closest non independent Tires Plus. Only one tire will fit in the trunk. The 3 will have to go in the back seat. With 19" rims, it's a tight fit.

Make sure to have either tire cozies or bed sheets you're willing to toss. I couldn't order tire cozies in time, so I ended up going to walmart and buying bed sheets. Initially I got two twin size sheets, but ended up getting another two set of sheets. You'll need four sheets and wrap each tire. Basically slide the passenger seat all the way forward, unhook the seatbelt from the leather strap on the seat, and load the 3 remaining tires in.

I got a full set of 20's in the boxes into the Camaro. 2 in the rear and 2 in the front passengers seat. I did have the top down though (no tires).

I fit 4 SS PZeros in the car once... It wasn't pretty. It's how I got it home from the dealership (4 snow tires on the car). IIRC it was one in the trunk, two in the back seat, and one in the passenger seat. Both seats were way forward and not terribly comfortable, but it worked. I drove to the tire shop a couple months later with the top down, and it wasn't quite as bad but still pretty ugly.

there aftermarket 20's, could one go where the air compressor thing is??

martyhalmi · 01-06-2013, 05:57 PM

I've done this.. Picked my set of four up from another member on here about 2 hours away. My wife came with me and I didn't think about it. Two of them were 20x11in 315's. A front tire in the trunk and the other three in the back seat stacked like a oreo row. I had to have the seat and steering wheel pushed almoat all the way up. Pretty uncomfortable to be crunched up like that for 2 hours.
