Fit Boxster alloys and tyres...in a Boxster

[ekam]

I tried fitting the 18" rear wheel (with 265/35 tire) on the frunk with the spare removed but... IT DOES NOT FIT despite what I read online!!!

17" front (thinner 225/45 tire) is very likely to fit but I'm not entirely positive.

ekam,
Sure it will fit in a 986 at least. Just put it in towards the front and lay it towards the back.

Nope, spent good 10-15 mins trying every possible angle & position and it did not fit...

Perhaps it was the Das Schild liner getting in the way but it wasn't even close...

Hmmmm,
About a dozen Box drivers in SoCal carry a full size rear tire in front. Most are 255/40/17 but some are 265/35/18. Maybe like most things in Canada your frunk is just a wee bit smaller
