Why don't they fit in the trunk? I had the same problem with the Michlins
I bought. Solution: remove the side and rear wooden blocks and shave them
off (in the back of them) a little--until the wheel fits. May not work on
the Vredesteins, but did on the Michlins.
Oh, after shaving off some of the wooden block, re-seal the black vinyl and
you really can't tell it has been modified.
