The small trunk on the 1979 doesn't leave a whole lot of room if you have a full size spare. Has anyone found a source or a match for a space saver type spare?

 

Yeah not much trunk space! I prefer the full size spare but I don’t haul a lot in my trunk. Do you have a local salvage yard that recycles cars? Those space saver donuts are pretty universal so you really just need to match the tire lug pattern. Good luck!

 

You could the stock "space saver " spare and or use one from a later model "Chevrolet "G" body .Malibu etc.

 

EZSparewheel.com has a smaller spare that will work. Below is a reply from them regarding my inquiry about a 1979 Camaro spare.
Our 17" is $289 plus tax and shipping, as stated we have your bolt pattern. Should you want to order please call us at 404-277-8160 as the size isn't listed under 1979 under Camaro on our website. Thank you!!
