(2) 275-40-17s
(2) 315-30-18s
plus
a jack, impact gun, air compressor, a few autox day tools, chair, umbrella, helmet....and there is still room for all 6'3 of me.

FRC for teh win!





315 pass seat, 275 pushed from behind the seat into the trunk area, 315 to the drivers side behind seat and the other 275 right behind the pass. fits like a glove. Ive done a variation of this before...but with smaller tires and I ended up leaving the trunk partially open. This time I just saw a better way and it all slid in perfect.

WOW, would never have thought!!!!!

RaleighSS

nice ... tried it with 18" x 4 and could not get it done....maybe I did not try hard enough lol

Nicely done! Does the FRC not have that slanted tub in the trunk like a Z does?

Just a tip, get some tire bags. Tire rack sells them. They really save the interior when doing things like this.

Good to know. When I eventually buy a C5 Z06.
So it CAN be done!

Now let's see someone jam them into a c4.

Alludc

it does have the dip in the trunk area. thats where all my extra stuff went. as far as putting a tire there, it doesnt work. will require thetrunk to be slightly open. this is the only way to fit all 4..and it wouldnt have worked had I had 295 fronts. 275 was max to squeeze under there.

I did bag them up after the race fyi....

JiminVirginia

Amazing.

Bills Z06

varkwso

Nicely done.

Bad Karma

Outstanding!

I even had my passenger seat out once and thought, hey these C5Z wheels should fit now...nope, only three fit still. I guess you could strap one to the roof!

Alludc

will have to finally break down and get that trailer...ordering my 295 fronts now. that will not work.

Alludc

yup I was right, (2) 315s and (2) 295s are not gonna work....





yet

Good luck. I can barely get 2x315 and 2x295 in my wife's Altima. The 295's go in the trunk and the 315's in the back seat. She really doesn't like those smelly passengers. lol

Not to thread hijack, but I can get 4 275/40/17's in/underneath a C4. Two in the rear, one in the pass. seat, 1 in the spare tire carrier it was designed to handle a full size 275/40/17.

Kinda of a PITA, but it can be done. Cheaper than a trailer and associated stuff.

Anyone know how the C6's are fairing regarding tires in the car?

jaa1992

I can't anymore - the down tubes from the rollbar are in the way.
4 275 ~25" total diameter all used to fit. Now just the spares for the trailer, jack and jackstands usually go in the cargo area when its on the trailer.

Curious if anyone has pulled this off in a C6 grand sport or z06? I've got 18" 275s in front and 19" 325s in rear. I'm worried those 325s are just too big to fit.

I would love to be able to drive to the track on my street tires and swap out there instead of changing at home. This would make it easier to run hoosiers at the track and I don't want to drive over an hour on a set of R6 each way to the track and back.

TKOGTO

I tried, albeit not very hard. I stopped quickly when I could barely get 2 in. I have 345's for the track and they did not fit in the back. Getting all 4 in does not seem even remotely possible.

Alludc

as an update.... this is NO LONGER POSSIBLE with my new tire sizes. It was fairly obvious it wouldnt be, but I figured id try. I wasn even close.


315s& 295s are a no no
