Carrying spare wheels in the car

[phoenixcsl]

Chaps,

What's the best way to carry spare wheels in the car?

Do you all stand them up on the back seat bench or take the rear seats out?

I have wheel bags etc, just thinking what's the best way of carting them around without damaging the rear seat plastic etc

Just be careful - and be aware that the weight can crack the centre console if folding the seats, so it is worth while putting some pillows under the seat either side to help support the weight off this.

This is the method I use although I think there was someone on here that lay some of them down. This is the best method for space utilization though. I try and put a blanket between the seats to provide extra support to the seat backs.

i take rear seats out its not worth it as the plastic either scuffs or cracks way to easy. 3 wheels on back seat on 2 halfords camping mats and one in boot.

I broke the rear seat in mine doing this so now I remove the base, stand all 4 upright and use a ratchet strap through the ISOFIX mounts either side to keep them in place.

There speaks a man with a plan - the first sensible method proposed that won't damage the interior, obviously given it some thought!:thumbs:

That's okay if you have a garage to keep the bits in :whistle:

Not at all just got fed up of the things clunking around every time I went round a corner or braked. One almost ended up in the front so had to do something.

Leave them anywhere within the House Craig; Seat, Seat back and Parcel Shelf were not talking Engines or Gearboxes, just items of trim. :whistle:

rstoughy - modest too! Necessity is the Mother of invention plus a little common sense.
