Default I have a 2 ton hydraulic jack in the trunk.
Had a bad experience with my factory jack on my 740.

Default I tried to put one of my stock 17"s back there and it stuck up..
too high causing the cover to stick up about an inch too high. I decided to pass on carrying it, but I would reconsider for a long trip or out in the boonies.

Default Mine aren't.
Relatively few A8s came to the U.S. with the 16" polished 5-spokes. Most pre-facelift cars had the 17" "optional" polished 5-spokes.

There's a foam insert you need to pull out.
