Default How many wheels have you gotten inside your 993

Having to shuffle a wheel swap with tire purchase this coming weekend.

Curious if anyone here has gotten 4 wheels into their 993 before.

Will a front rim fit in the frunk?

you can try to get 3 in the back and 1 in the front seat. or two in the front seat. and 2 in the back.

are the wheels mounted or not. you can also remove the spare for a bit more room but the frunk is not the biggest space for hauling stuff.

I tried to get 4 NB turbo twists in my C4 when I bought it, might have worked if it was just the rims, but with tires mounted, no way. Had them shipped to my home instead.

I now have a set of thule feet and load bars with which I can carry bikes, skis, cartop carrier etc. I could probably figure out a way to load 4 wheels with tires and secure them for transport, but it would look pretty weird. Have seen a few guys attach a mini trailer for tire which works great and looks pretty cool.

BTW I believe the frunk on the C4 is even smaller than the C2 due to the transfer case. Can barely fit a case of wine and six pack of beer.

FWIW, I transported four NB turbo twist wheels (sans tires) in my C4 that I purchased from RL regular Andreas. They'll never again be as clean as they were that day. Thanks Andreas!

I got 4 MY02's in my '95. You can fit a front rim in the frunk, two rears in the back of the passenger compartment and another front wheel into the front floorboard.

I did, at one time, get 8 tires in my '99 M3.

4 wheels only (no tyres) = easey peasey if you remove passenger seat.

Quite an impressive group here. You would all be great at Tetris.

Thanks for the tips. I'll take a photo and let you know how It works out for me.

Personally speaking, I don't carry wheels in my 993; and it pains me to see such atrocities!

That's why they make Toyota Tacoma's!
