[Mk2] [Generic] will 4x 16" rims fit in a mr2?

[Bambam22586]

im gong to pick my new wheels up tomorrow and am now wondering if they will all fit i was thinking 1 under the bonnet 1 behind passenger seat 1 on the passenger seat not sure abbout the other one either passenger side footwell or behind driver seat? will 1 fit in the boot?

[tonigmr2]

It won't fit in the boot, no. But you can probably squeeze two in on the passenger side - far easier to remove the seat though.

Just the rims or tyres as well?

Based purely on guess work (ie don't take my word for it), I'd assume a rim (or even two at a stretch) would easily fit in the boot. You may have issues with the tyres as well, though...

[Bambam22586]

these are with tyres to

Ah... good luck!

Seat removal probably the way forward (or borrow a bigger car for the trip!)

[Bambam22586]

yeah everyone is working tomorrow so cant borrow a car!

As above, remove passenger seat.. should fit in no probs

I've tried this before and succeeded, but yes, the passenger seat had to come out.

One went under the bonnet.

Two went upright sitting where the passenger seat should have been (they sat quite neatly between the edge of the storage box and a ridge in the floor.)

And the last laid flat on top of them wedged up against the glox box.

These were 8" wide rims with tyres on too, so you shouldn't have a problem width wise.

Yes, they will.

One in the front trunk, two in the passenger seat - two facing forwards, one across the front of the dash.

That's how I used to transport my trackday 16" wheels.

I got 4 16in wheels (without tyres) in my 2 with a passenger as well!

two wheels in boot (8in wide ones) and one each behind each seat (7in wide ones). Admittedly I had to have my seat way too far forward, but it wasn't unsafe.

[Martin F]

it takes 5 mins to remove the seat and will be alot safer...

[mattcambs]

Yes. Much better idea. In my case I wrongly thought all 4 wheels would go in the boot. I reckon 15in wheels would.

[BenF]

FWIW you could just about squeeze two rear wheels and alloys in the boot, but there's no way the lid is closing. I wouldn't recommend driving the car like that far.
