Question about transporting wheels & tires

Burnin' Rubber · 01-16-2016, 01:52 PM

Hello. I'm not sure if this topic has been discussed so I apologize if I have a repeat question.

Has anyone with an Alpha Camaro tried transporting all four wheels, with tires mounted, in the interior by fitting them into the trunk and cabin space?

I imagine you would have to maximize the space by having the rear seats and passenger seat folded down.

Has anyone tried with the 18" or 20" wheels?

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Not sure about the 6thGen, but I did the rear seat delete and can put four 19x10 Forgestars with Toyo R888s in the back seat....I actually put one in the trunk and only three in the back so I can put my driver's seat back a little further....

I'm guessing on the 6th, probably only three in the back and one will have to go into the trunk, or in the front passenger seat....Good luck....Another option, and I may do it myself, is a small utility trailer to haul tires, etc., to the track.

you wont get the tires in the trunk or the back seat. You cant bring the seat forward enough to fit them. You could put one in the passenger seat and make four trips.

I guess I will have to drive to the track with drag radials when the time comes.

I just transported all 4 of my stock wheels in boxes in my car , I have the LPO red line wheels on my car and going to install winter tires onto my stock 20" wheels . I put 2 in the back with the seat folded down and part of one going through the hole going from the trunk in the car and one in the trunk, was a tight fit, had to move both front seats forward and was bit of a tight squeeze but they fit ..........

Do you think you could have squeezed 4 tires in there too if need be along with those? Separate from rims? Im getting my mrr wheels and winter tires put on monday, or should i just get someone to follow me?

wheels alone is completely different from tires and wheels mounted. I'm telling you it wont happen. I would love to see pics of it done though. Just dont blame me when you scratch the hell out of something.
