   I run studs in the winter on 14" wheels. It helps if I jack up the front   
   passenger side to get the body a little higher. It isn't a problem with   
   the 15" summer tires.   
      
   I can usually reach down from the top to unscrew the filter. One of the   
   things I look for when shopping for cars it the location of the filter,   
   plugs, and so forth to make sure it is serviceable without agony.
