I fit four 18's w/tires and four 17's with tires at different times....

no problem. take out your spare, remove the seat and voila! you put the two tires in the front standing up side by side and one in the rear will and one infront of the rear strut bar.

I started a thread and posted pictures back when I did it at 350zmotoring. same user name if you want to research.

Just looked it up on 350zmotoring... nice! Thats pretty much exactly what I was thinking of doing. I also just remembered that my mom has a suburu forester that I should be able to borrow, that would make things nice and easy!

totally wrong, along with the other people that said you cant do it. Ive fit 4 17's with mounted tires and 4 18's with mounted tires on seperate occasions with the passenger seat in the car and the spare out. obviously 19's wil be a tighter squeeze

I fit 4 new 06 wheels and 2 new tires into my Z. I had very little visibility and it was really packed in too.

I think the 19s would be about the same size as the 18s if they both have tires becuase of the thinner profile.

Improve on your social skills, make one friend with a Civic or larger car, pick up rims, have a chat...

or take a cab...

275/35R18 Hoosiers: Take out rear carpet and spare tire, one tire/wheel in the spare tire well, one ahead of the rear strut bar, two in the passenger seat area (one behind the seat, one in the seat, or both in the seat). I was able to get the spare back in on top of the tire in the spare tire well, but it was really tight.

Same thing for the 285/30R18 V710, although there was no way to get the spare tire in, and there was barely enough room to get the tire in front of the rear strut bar in and out -- as long as the tire was warm.

You can do it. Just stand two up in the front seat. Put one in the hatch in front of the sway bar, the other will fit behind the sway. You may even be able to close the hatch.
I did this with two 19's in the front seat and 2 20's in the hatch w/ no problem.
Just make sure you put a blanket over the interior pieces and you'll be fine.

I had one 20" rim in the back hatch, no chance with 4 19"s and tires. Rent the home depot truck $19.99 first 75 minutes or something like that...

Yes it can be done. I think somebody posted pics in a thread either in this forum or another of 4 tire/wheels in a Z. It takes some creative thinking but it can be done.

If you want to actually close the hatch I would say it's going to be very tough. I had enough trouble just fitting 2 18" tires in mine.
