Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I understood C4s had a smaller boot due to 4WD kit so they weren't fitted / standard.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

what size spacesaver wheel fits in the front boot (bottom) of a 996 1999 C4 tip? Got a 17 one from ebay and cannot seem to get it ib

POST 2Original post

From memory it was a collapsable one in my C4s, never had cause to use it though so couldn't be sure

POST 3Original post

The 17" inflated type will not fit. I believe you will need the 16" collapsable type.

POST 4Original post

I haven't got one in my C4 either. I understood C4s had a smaller boot due to 4WD kit so they weren't fitted / standard. Carry some tyre foam and join the AA...

POST 5Original post

As Geoff says, you will need the 16" "Collapsible" spare wheel, similar to the one in this photo. (The C4S/Turbo was 17") Part number 996.362.050.00 or 996.362.050.01

POST 6Original post

That sound as tho a 17" would fit in any sized boot space.

POST 7Original post

The C2 and C4/4S spacesavers are different. The C2 has a skinny inflated wheel which sits flush against the rear wall of the luggage compartment, whereas the 4s have the collapsible which fits under a floor panel in the compartment.

POST 8Original post

Sorry crossed wires here, i'm guessing he bought a non collapsible 17" whereas the 4s/turbo have collapsible 17". Is that right?

POST 9Original post

It isn't clear, but I was assuming Meng bought a 17" collapsible (from a C4S or Turbo) rather than a 16" collapsible (from a C4).

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yup stupid me bought 17 inch which i cannot squeeze in my c4 anyone want a brand new wheel 17 inch wheel i will personally auto graph it at no extra charge or swap for a 16 inch wheel
