I've done it. The front trunk fits a tire -- just barely, but it's as designed for when you get a flat on the road. (Hmmm, not 100% sure if I tried that with carpeting and stereo amplifier installed....) Then put 2 tires standing up on the passenger floor, and the last one sideways on top of them.

If you are only driving slowly for a very short distance, you can also put a tire in the rear trunk with the lid ajar. Probably need to strap the lid down so it doesn't bounce.

Takk Trygve.

A lot of people on this forum have been very helpful. It's largely thanks to you I've been able to get so quikcly up to speed with the Boxster.

Once I have some spare time on my hands I'll try to pay you back by posting some usefull stuff. I have been taking pictures and recording many of the mods and repairs I have done so far.

I've done it with 4 17" rims, no tires without removing the passenger seat. One went in the frunk, one on the passenger side floor with the seat pushed all the way back and two on the passenger seat. I even fit a set of four in boxes that way. I didn't have to remove the spare.

Baja style. 1 in frunk, 2 in seat and 1 on top of the new cage you had built.
