Mike,
I do like the idea of using the late model F-body 16" space saver. I think that would work like a charm.....and with the Prius 205/60 x 16 tire. I think that would provide me what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion.
Space saver spare tire...advice?

Hey Jim,
Where were you heading with the spare and skis on your roof? It couldn't have been dragweek...not with the skis. Unless it was just a road trip somewhere....or a safari.
You're right about putting the spare on the roof, though....
with climate change you have to be prepared for everything....
Jack if you were closer you could have my 16" F-body spare... it is the base for my bench grinder stand. But, the shipping cost would stink.

That was taken in Ocean City during H2O about a 6 weeks ago. My kid found that roof rack setup on Amazon for a G-body and he had to have it. The ski is one his friend's lol. He goes every year with a group. He goes with new tires and comes home with them bald lol.
Thank you, Mike,
That's very kind of you, but as you said, shipping would suck big time. Have you ever used it on one of your G-bodies? Just wondering what it would fit like.
Jim,
I'm sure you guys had a blast down there. It looks like that rack clips on to the drip rails. Could you find a manufacturers name on it anywhere?
Nope. Everything I have ever had has had staggered size wheels/tires - my spare is CAA. Heh.
How much of a rush are you in? I know driving season is year round in Florida - I might be able to take my grinder apart next week and test it on the Monte.
Mike,
Don't take it apart while It's currently serving a purpose. Might as well leave it be. I have to get off my *ss and hit the local junque emporiums. I think one of the local U-Pull-It's has a few 2000 + Camaros. I gotta go check 'em out. Although, I'm not in a big hurry.
Yeah, I'm thinking a 16" rim and small enough, low profile tire might work out well.
Again, it would have to clear the calipers and fit in the spare tire well...
I'll keep everyone up to date. I haven't totally ruled out a 15" spare either.
