is it getting stuck with the tyres or axles.

Did you try the box with no wheels on?

Did you try the box without the wheels, as the schewy rubber hangs over the rim more one way than the other. If you glue them with the writing to the inside then they don't hang over too much

i have the writing on the tyre to the outside and the wheel nut sticks out another 2 to 3mm ish past that when it's in the box you can hear metal on metal rubbing so it is the axle/wheelnut catching

It is annoying, I had to do it for the F345's. Its borderline at the moment. but just about passable. Spent more time getting it legal, than concentrating on set-up. lol

to be fair, on a car costing £450, it should fit in the box, no dremmeling at all...
