How to Turn an Old Tire into a Car Display Shelf

How to Turn an Old Tire into a Car Display ShelfImagine each car in your collection parked neatly inside its own pit stop, waiting for the next big race.

By recycling an old tire and adding shelves, you’ve created a racetrack wall of memories.

Every shiny paint job, every detail of those miniature wheels, now lives inside a frame that nods to the thrill of driving.

It’s rugged, it’s playful, and it tells anyone who sees it: here lives a collector who knows how to turn passion into décor.

Materials Needed

  • 1 old tire (bicycle or car, cleaned thoroughly)
  • Wooden planks (cut to fit across the tire, approx. 3-4” wide)
  • Strong screws
  • Wall-mounting hardware (heavy-duty anchors and hooks)
  • Sandpaper and paint (optional)
  • Toy cars or diecast car collection

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Clean the tire well, scrubbing off dirt or grease. If you’d like, spray-paint it to give it a polished finish.

Step 2: Measure the interior diameter of the tire and cut wooden planks to fit snugly inside. Then sand the edges for smoothness.

Step 3: Secure the planks across the tire with screws or brackets, evenly spacing them to create multiple levels for cars.

Step 4: Install heavy-duty anchors on the wall and mount the tire shelf securely. A filled tire can get heavy, so make sure it’s well-supported.

Step 5: Arrange your cars along the shelves. You can group them by color, series, or even line them up like a starting grid for a race.

Step 6: Step back and admire how your old tire has become a conversation piece that holds your favorite collection.

Tips:

I’ve seen people add LED strip lights inside the rim for a glowing racetrack effect.

It makes the cars pop, especially in dimly lit rooms, and adds a touch of drama to the display.
