I need to free up some floor space in the garage. Did a quick search here on tire storage shelves, but a lot of the pictures are no longer available. Just looking for some ideas in case some of them might save me some time and headache.

Thanks for any help.

I have a total of three of these up on my wall. The wheels on my C7 GS (295/325) just barely fit on one, but the track widths (315/335) were too wide for all four on one rack. With multiple racks I was able to space them all the way across my wall, giving lots of room for storage off-the ground.

Thanks, guys. I had initially planned on making some racks to keep the costs down, but you've got me also thinking about how much my time is worth. I'll count up how many damn tires I've got taking up floor space, and give these things some thought.

Thanks again.

nah those are waaaay overpriced. I have 2 of these. Width adjustable. Each week Fits 4 slicks, 305 sized tight, at full width. Or 3 z06 tires otherwise.

I plan on making a tire storage for my trailer out of unistrut.

Ive got basically the same one posted above from amazon. I think you can find it under different brand names since mine is gray. Its worked well, but you'll likely need two if you have wider tires.

I went with a standing rack....to mount 4 bigger Vette or Viper sized tires next to each other I'd recommend nothing narrower than 60". Mine looks similar to this in design, but I'm now out to 12' wide and 4 levels since I also store a lot of my truck and SUV tires on the rack. Wheels are inconvenient to store but this gets them out of the way.

I have several of these but they will only hold three Z06 wheels as they are several inches too narrow. If you can mount them on a wall that has studs mounted a few inches further apart than the standard 16 inches then you could get them to hold 2 315/30/18s and 2 345/35/18s. The nice thing about them is they fold up out of the way so I have used them to make folding shelves in front of the water heater. If the water heater needs to be replaced I just unload the shelves and fold them up.

I also have one of these.
It is expandable and easily handles the above mentioned track tires with about 6 inches to spare.

Thanks again for all the input, guys. Gives me something to think about while hanging out with the relatives this week.

I have two of these mounted on a wall in the garage

They aren't cheap but have a nice adjustable track system on it to allow you to mount them where you need to. I have 4 315/18 A7s on them and there's A LITTLE extra room, so you might need to get creative if you're running really wide tires.

Can these be mounted to the wall?

BrunoTheMellow

They cannot be mounted any other way ....

Dr.Ron

Yeah, I saw. Sorry-dumb question! lol

I thought about wall mounting, but instead just got a dolly. I stack them up on that.


Climbing up and putting them up on the wall is a pain in the butt.
