Nice Fit.

I have fit four 205/45/17 in a convertible R52 with top up. That's a challenge. Sorry no pic but it can be done.

Great use of the cover also to protect the carpet.

Wow that's impressive. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get three of them in the back let alone four.

You can fit 6 205/45/16s for autocross. Its honestly one of the best things about the car.

I have had 6 in my R50 with some room to spare and both front seats all of the way back.

Take the backseat out and the "well" is the perfect arc for the set of tires. no mess either. just check your autocross class to make sure it's ok not to have a back seat.

Its hard to see but they don't touch the headliner at all. They roll in and out without touching as well. I'm super OCD about detailing my car so I took extra care while loading.

If you are talking about my pics, then you are sort of correct. It wasn't the tires that caused that. I loaded a mountain bike in the car one night before going to work and dropping it off at the bike shop for some work. I didn't even realize the old oxidized rubber grips made nice graffiti all over my roof. Luckily it came right out in a car wash at the dealership, free of charge.

Never again will I load stuff like that late at night when I am tired and it's dark out.
