So can you get a 275/60/15 tire and wheel in the trunk?

[Fitz73Chrgr]

So, can you get a 275/60/15 on an 8 inch rim into the trunk of a C500/Daytona ? I mean past the taillight cover and into position and wing-nutted down on the spare tire mount? 

if its just the spare  why do you need it to be that big ?  Hopefully you will never have to use it and if you do have to not for long .

I really don't want to leave a shiney, new magnum 500 along side the highway just 'cause she got a nail in her 

Why don't you just put it in the passenger seat if need be?  Carry a tarp in the trunk if you're worried about getting the interior dirty.

Install roof rack , I can see it now , one of one , Daytona roof rack sunroof

Why not shorten a factory luggage rack, mount it to the deck lid and then strap the tire to it...........  Just a thought........... And NO, I'm not going to try it on Dana.........

BRILLIANT! Then I could put the wife and anybody else riding with me in the trunk, or strap them across the hood like a dead dear!

I like the dead deer idea ,

I've often wondered if you could use a luggage rack from an E body on the shortened deck lid of the 500's and Daytona's. I don't think it would fit though, might be too wide.

a 275/60 on a cop car rim fits in the trunk.  marty's currently holding one.

i bought a tire at PE at the charlotte WW meet and i'm not sure if there was an attendee who DIDN'T suggest that i crack open the wing and use it for a tire rack...

i'm sure someone did seeing as you had a full  car and was still stuffing the big tire in it

275-60 on cop car wheels is definitely doable as that is what I used to have.  275-60 on a 10" wide stock car wheel  ain't happening. You might put one in that is flat but inflated, no way.Been there done that.

[pettybird]

HA thanks Troy!  Pics to add to the collection!


Larry, Mike Svec built a '69 charger for his wife.  She wanted it pink, so he found a CLEAN NC body, and painted it pink everywhere.  Like, rotisserie everywhere.  About the time the paint was done, she lost interest in it...Mike was stuck with a pink charger.  One of his buddies showed him the 1:43 scale car of the Marty Robbins-driven Daytona.  Turns out Mike had a number of Daytona pieces collected over the years, and the idea was put into motion.  The car was truly in its element flanked by Glen Peters' 43 'bird and Dan Gaddis' Issac Daytona at meets.


OK Stewart JUST BECAUSE we abandoned our cooler in the hotel parking lot so that I could bring home the second NASCAR wheel, and tire, and fender section, and 40 lugnuts, and, and, and doesn't mean i bought too much in Charlotte
