4 spare wheels and tyres in a chimaera?

[lestershaw]

bought some new wheels and tyres and i am going to collect them on sunday, i dont want to waste the opprtunity of a drive in the Chimaera , so my question is, has anyone had 4 wheels with tyres on in their chimaera?
:-)

I couldn't even get 2 rear tyres in the boot of mine let alone wheels as well. 1 wheel in the boot and the other on the passenger seat is the best you can hope for.

Nope - tried and failed.

thanks guys, i think i knew that all along, i suppose i could go twice :-)

It can be done if you remove the passenger seat. Only 4 nuts

I just bought 4 Estorils and I was assured that the seller had had all 4 in his Chim at once, so seems it can be done!

[lestershaw]

can i have your estorils please :-)

[JonyTVR]

god I'm desperate for some nice wheels for the chim but there is sod all around for sale and what is about looks crap! what are all you guys buying?

I have a front pair of 17" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 with as new Falken 452`s..correct off sets and rim width £150. Tyres alone cost alot more than that..

When I had my pro races fitted on the chim I drove back with 4 STD estorils in the chim.
1 front and 1 rear in the boot - it nearly closes but not quite.
1 front and 1 rear on passenger seat. Puts blanket down first. Drove back 30 miles with roof on.
Easy !!!!

Mmmm they do look good actually, always thought 15 and 16" would look too small

[lestershaw]

atually they are 17" all round ( if its mine you are talking about) i bought a black set from pistonheads which i am hoping to get in the car tomorrow am

no I ment the Estorils, I guessed yours were 17 and thats what I had been looking for, I have 17's all round at the moment but are some horrible multi stud halfords type which just dont suit the car at all. yours look alright though how come your changing?

What e said!


4 fit in quite easily.

These are my 10" rear and 8" fronts.

1 front and 1 rear on the front seat on an old blanket.

1 of each in the boot slightly deflated.

Here's a pic going to a T/D.
