Carrying a 2nd Set of Wheels/Tires - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I usually drive to the event on race rubber (DOT-R Nittos) and carry 1 full size wheel/tire in the front trunk with skinny spare removed. A full size wheel fits fine in the front if you lean it back. Just check clearances carefully before closing. When going to interstate events we bring a motor home and support trailer.

and then there's a few guys who built their own little trailer (big enough for 4 wheels)

Hey, nice to hear from you again.
I do that too but when your wheels already have a few events on them it's always like playing roulette, if you have to drive back on the bare threads ;-)

when i replaced all 4 tires, i wanted to keep the 2 good ones. i tried putting one of them in the front trunk with the spare still inside but it was a no go - the lid contacted the tire. one wouldn't even fit in the rear trunk. i ended up having to go pick them up in a different vehicle.
