Default 4 x 16" MK1 wheels, will they fit "IN" an S000?

Im going to collect my wheels from the wheel refurbisher tomorrow and the only car I have access to is my S, my question is will 4 x 16 inch (without tyres) fit in an s2000. Say 2 in the boot and 2 in the passenger side? Let me know if its been done? Thanks

I think I've seen a photo of this. I *think* there was only one in the boot and three in the passenger seat. Not sure...

Err TBH no !! You will not close the boot.

2 On the passenger seat but none in the boot.

Must be possible without tyres , but i would make sure you take some thick cardboard or similar to stop the seat getting marked up


Ans also something to stop the wheel ( or 2 ) in the boot from moving around and dinging a panel

I managed three with tyres so I would guess with no tyres it might work!
Take the tools out put a rear in there, you might get a front in the boot as well. Maybe a front in the foot well and a rear on the passenger seat

Yes, done exactly that.

Wheels without tyres. Two in the boot. One rear vertical in the well, plus a front on top of it like a 't'. Then two in the passenger side.

Take bubble wrap and sticky tape if you have it to wrap things up. The boot ones will rattle otherwise, plus you want to protect the interior.

Sod the seats and the panels, what about the wheels? 'From' the refurbishers, not 'to'!

I really would recommend a second car. They are awfully bulky things.
