Dumb(ish) question - Can you get 18" Rims & Tyres in the Boot?
« on: February 08, 2010, 09:36:33 pm »
HI All

Feel like a bit of a dope asking.

But can you get 18" Rims with Tyres in the boot or do you have to drop the seats? 

Just need to know if I have to empty the car of all the work stuff and leave the dog at home if I were to pick a set up.

Cheers

Yeh, with the tyres on on you'll need the seats down. Without tyres you'll get four in the boot!

Seats down definately, and a really annoying thud each time you brake unless you put something to keep them in place!
