Im looking to buy a spare tire off a camaro, but i need to know the tire size and the actual full diamater of the whole spare......preferably the 16" version off the 98-02 camaros....
so if one of you owns a cammy, can any of you lend a hand? thx

i will check tonight on my 02 Trans Am.... and post it up when i can for you... i could even try it on my sunfire and see how it fits if you want
the rim wont fit on a J-body
the lug patterens are alot different
F-body = 5 x 4 3/4"
J-body = 5 x 100mm
if its the 16" one, then definitely see if it fits in the jbody wheel well, and then, if you could still get the overall measurement, it'd sure be nice
the problem i have is that my current Z wheel/tire is 26" in diameter. I believe i have about 7 inches or so in clearance from the frame of the car to the ground. the stock donut is 20" wide, and so that means that IF i ever get a blown tire, mounting the donut will put me somewhere near 4" clearance (and thats without a stock side skirt, so possibly down to 3" or so). not knowing what could happen with weight distribution and having to put the donut on the rear, with the weak rear springs (goldlines), any small bump could easily make my car rebound 2", and having 1" or less of space between the road and the frame on a rebound just isn't comfortable enough for me. so all of the donuts i've seen that are 16" and hide away are 5x114 lug (camaro, maxima, etc), so i figure i'll just buy a lug converter and stick it on there whenever i need the spare. which hopefully will be never, but you never know. then again, it MUST fit inside the stock location, cuz of certain reasons. And the stock Z wheel diameter wise DOES NOT fit in there. So im looking for either A) a larger tire to fit on the 14" donut (which i really haven't been able to find) or B) find a tire with around a 24" diameter that could give me about 2" more of clearance when i put it on. and the adapter, well, its temporary anyway, so why not.
thanks.
