OEM Rims Inside a ZL1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has anyone put all 4 OEM rims with F1 mounted tires inside the ZL1 in any form or fashion. Time to mount all season tires on new rims for the winter. Was wondering how i would bring the OEM wheels home with stock tires still mounted. Going with the Continental DSW, 275/40/20 & 315/35/20

Ahhh....the advantages to owning a pickup truck.

There was a thread here on C5 where someone managed to get all 4 wheels in an SS. I think they put two in the trunk and two in the back seat standing up.

Fold down the back seat - The first two tires you're pushing through into the trunk the other two go in the back seat (well on top of the now folded down back seat). To get them in the back you move the passenger seat all the way forward and lean the seat back forward.

Scrub them well if you use any tire shine.

i did with SS rims with tires on. 1 rear in trunk, 1 rear on folded down back seat with 1 front on top of that one and other front standing upright next to the ones on the folded back seat. put down painters plastic or old comforter cuz no matter how clean they are you need protection

My tires were dismounted, so perhaps they were a bit wider than if mounted on wheels.
Even the 285 was too wide to fit though the trunk pass-through.
So...
1 in the trunk,
2 on the folded-down rear seat (brought in behind the folded-forward passenger seat), &
1 on the passenger seat.

I fit 4 ss rims 2 8" wide 2 9" wide and 2 ss front tires inside of a coupe not really exactly what youre trying to do here but I'm sure it is possible!

It wasn't pretty but one went in the trunk the other 3 on the rear seat with it down of course. Was barely able to close the passenger door. The OEM GoodYear tires & ZL1 wheels. Shouldn't have to do that ever again.
