Fold the rear seats, and you can put two wheels on there. Two in the boot. If the wheels are big then one in the boot and one on the passenger seat. Put a old bed sheet on the seats if you have OCD, :x

What width? 16x8?

If you have an upper rear strut brace you may find it's a squeeze getting two in the boot. :lol:

16" OEM sawblades with tyres only just jammed in with the Spoon brace. Can't speak for others, think the cebul special is better for boot room if you have one of those. 8-)

Even if you can only get one in the boot you will get three on the back seats folded down.

Or get some really long wheel studs and massive arch extensions ...
