1. Remove mini spare from front trunk and insert one rim/tire where mini was. The front trunk lid will close.
2. Two rims/tires will go in the pax. seat- I believe they were standing upright. Your vision will be obstructed thru the pax. window. Tie the two tires together to prevent them rolling onto the gear shift.
3. One tire/rim will fit in rear trunk but trunk will not close. You can tie down the rear trunk lid with rope or straps.
4. Travel alone! I cannot remember what I did with the spare though but I did not leave it behind.
5. It is doable because I did it last fall. Enjoy. Stop maybe every 30-45 mins to takes deep breaths and have a coffee. Cheers.
You might have to let some air out of the tire in the front trunk . My tires/rims were 17inch.
