Im collecting a set of alloys with tyres for the coop tomorrow and was wondering will all 4 fit in the coop?
Will 3 fit in the boot (with spare removed) and one on back seat or will i only get 2 in the boot ?
Or to be safe should i take my corolla and drop the back seats?

When i bought a pair (edit: SET sorry) of alloys from Rog at Poweritalia, we got 1 in the boot, 2 on the back seat and 1 in the passenger seat i think.

(each in a bin bag)

I moved a set of wheels recently. 2 in the boot and 2 in the back seats.

Put the 2 in the boot, 1 on top of the other.

I ended up taking the corolla to pick up the wheels and im glad i did. I can only get 1 in the boot as i have a 12 stack cd player.
I have only just noticed that 2 of the tyres are 205/50/16 and the other 2 are 205/45/16 - will this be a problem if i fit them to the car? and if i do should i put the smaller profile to the front? Would be a shame to waiste the 45's as they are toyo's with 6/7mm of tread still on them.

hi

if you have both 45 on the front or back there wont be a problem ... both tyres and alloys have to be the same size on each axle so as long as you keep them as a pair your ok smile hope this helps

4 can fit in the rear just lying flat and you can thread the seatbelts through them for security. I have done this three times now with standard 225/44/16 with pictures as proof. MrCooper's miss can confirm. smile
