Hi all,
I hope somebody could help me on this "stupid" topic.
Did any of you have ever tried to fit in the car a standard (19 inches) set of 4 wheels and tires into a 997 coupe?
I need to take them to the shop to replace them.
I'd be alone in the car and tires would be "packet", so no prob for dirty etc.
If you already tried:
if it works: how did you fit them?
if it doesn't: I'll not bother trying

Thanks in advance.
Ale

 

Not all 4 inside. I've seen some strapped to the roof rack

Better off borrowing someone's SUV/Truck.

 

Ciao,
thanks for the prompt reply.
I feared that I was too optimistic
I'll use my mother's Toyota Yaris.

PS nevertheless, I was able to store interesting things in the car

 

I don't think the roof rack is the solution as the weight of 4 tires + wheels exceeds the limit stated in the manual. I've looked into this as a convenient way to get wheels/tires to the track.

 

No way was I proposing 4 wheels on the rack - maybe 2 inside and two on the rack. If you're going to try and put 4 on the rack you might as well get a trailer hitch installed and rent a Uhaul.

 

I do not need it on a regular basis. I bought new rims and I need to put on old tires

 

Thank goodness my wife drive's an Odyssey!

 

You just have to resign yourself to making 2 trips each way...

 

looks like you are gonna be well prepared when 2012 rolls around!

 

It cannot happen.
I need to have a GT3 first!

 

Uhm...
After having transported the wheels with a Toyota Yaris (putting down rear seats) I can confirm that the 997 option was not manageable
