Yes, that would be a good solution, problem is, can't do it with the Coupe, & there's no-one that has confirmed to me yet, that the rear wheel & Tire will be able to fit in the back seat of a coupe as there is doubt it would fit between the B Pillar & front seat when trying to gain access to the rear?. It'd be interesting to know if anyone on here has managed to get the 305/20 tire & rim into the back seat of a coupe?!

I have, When I track I put a 285 in the trunk and the 305 in the back seat folded down. Passenger seat all the way up and tilted forward and it slides through and I do use a tire bag. My wife also has more than enough room, the seat will only go back about 60% with the tire behind the seat. She's 5'4" so you might want to test it at home.

I've done that several times as well when taking an extra set of wheels to the track (2 x 305 and 1x 285 in the back seat; 1x 285 in the trunk). The ones in the back had to oriented vertically, front to back in order to fit next to each other and the rear seat had to be removed. But if you were just putting one in, you could do that quite easily with the back seats intact an with barely if any need to move front seats forward from rear-most position.

Everyone who complained GM didn’t advertise the 6th Gen Camaro enough were just misguided on who should be the spokesman:

Absolutely. Maybe it's not too late to save the Camaro. They could put some ads together using Riccardo's voice via AI.
The Camaro should always be 1st and foremost about luxurious comfort. When I ordered mine, I tried to delete the Recarros and substitute Corinthian Lazy-Boys, but they didn't have that option on the order form. What gives GM?

You really made that yours, I approve. (100% serious)

That reflective tape on the door innards is a great idea.

I always wondered how many Corinthians Chrysler had killed over the years. Obviously all of them because they’re extinct now.

Good on you OP for making your car exactly as YOU want it!

I wish GM used a few additional colors and surfaces to break up the sea of black interior.

Thanks for your reply, but I see you have an SS?....I don't think they have 20" wheels the same as the ZL1,..so dýou think the ZL1 wheel 305/"20" will fit?

Modernspare.com. Fits in the trunk. I recommended one to a friend of mine with a '16 2SS convertible. 2 months after purchasing it he had a major blowout after hitting some trash on our poorly maintained freeways. He was glad he had a good spare but he did however, need to place the blown out rear tire in the backseat. If you DD or drive long distances a real spare tire is nice to have instead of plugs and goop.

Excludes ZL1, I would assume it also excludes SS 1LE, same staggered tire/wheel sizes, and the e-diff. I'm thinking that tire would be quite dangerous on any axle. I will stick to plugs, goop, etc.

I agree, the peace of mind would be nice, but driving on that would not give me peace of mind, either.

Correct - they make this one for the ZL1 and 1LE applications:
