David P Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Someone recently asked on here if you could get 4 Supra wheels and a passenger into a Supra but I can't find the thread. Today I picked up a set of Lexus 18" sport rims with 275 and 245 40's, and a pair of 18 275 40 tyres. 245 wheels stood upright behind front seats, a 275 in the space saver divot and the other just in front of it. The 2 tyres went one in front of the other on the passenger seat, Suporigami. (Don't worry, I covered up Jamies nice seats. ) Mirror rear view was good, however, the near side mirror and both near side windows, were behind a wall of black rubber, totally blind left and the passenger window had to remain open for the tyres to stick out a bit, it was 'friendly'. To make sure no vehicle could get into this massive blind spot, I drove back from Essex in the slow lane. Whilst being burnt off by every lorry except the one I was following, I worked out how I could have fitted in all 6 and kept all round vision, or 5 and a passenger, or 7 and be back in slow lane.

Josh Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Can you get a wheel/tyre in the boot if you retract the blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Without the space saver, you can get one in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pal calls it my Supra van and he reckons I should take off the tailgate and call it a Supra pick-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
