How to transport 4x225/50 15s on 9" wheels

Postby davekmoore » Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:48 am

Yes I can see out of all the mirrors and use the handbrake and gear lever. No, that tyre and wheel combo will not quite fit in the boot. No, I don't care about damaging the interior any more.

All wheels have insides facing out so they can be loaded up with all the items likely to fail at a track day, which in BARMY's case could be anything.

This is excellent. I've been driving on my 225/45 15x8s to the track, but now that I've seen this...

Is the passenger seat still in there?

Well, that's cheating.

True. Effective, but cheating.

Yup.

And full cage, aero, proper brakes, fully lightened, etc etc.

Surely there's a market for a tyre trailer these days?

Doesn't have to be MX5-specific (apart from the hitch mount on the car - which could be made to help support the mounting of a rear wing; sorry, scope-creep).
Don't worry about dying, worry about not living!
