I am going to be purchasing a set of 19" rims with tires mounted and picking them up. Will I be able to fit them in my car?

I was thinking about trying to put 2 in the passenger seat (maybe take the seat out?) and one right behind the seats and in front of the rear stut bar and then one in the back hatch area.

Maybe I could fit 2 in the rear hatch area if I took my spare tire out? Its going to be a 2 1/2 hour drive to get them so I would be a little bit worried about taking that out, but I do have AAA.

Thanks!

 

tough call

 

rent a truck.

 

Ive fit 2 before, but 4 19's... no way.

 

I tried and end up calling for my family car...

 

good idea! didn't even think of that.... looks like it would be a lil over $40 to rent the car for the day... thats not bad!


Good thing I asked here first... was just going to take the drive and expect it to work!!! lol

 

I have an M3 and i could barely fit my rims (only) in the car.

 

Rent a truck... Don't mess up your interior.

 

If I can't fit four 17" rims with 255/40/17 azenis, I highly doubt it.

 

Just the reason why you have to have a second car when you own the Z.

 

lol... yall have to be creative now..... i seriously fit 4 rims and tires in my Z... when i went to a drift even near dallas from the fort hood area..... thats about a 2 1/2 hour drive...... i fit 3 in the trunkand one in the passanger seat..... on yeah i had to take out the carppet, spare tire cover and spare tire.....

 

nope.. i sold the stock rims and it did not fit when i try to delivered them..

dont have a friend to help?? my avalon fit 4... im sure camry or accord can fit them

 

I think you can even stand all 4 tires up in the back and just tie down the trunk. That's how I haul oversized shiet from Ikea using the Z.

 

It can be done but passenger side/rear visibility will be 0. You would probably have to remove the spare tire because I think about the widest tire you can squeeze under the rear strut with the spare tire still there is a 225.

 

No, you can't do it. If you pull the seat you can put maybe 2 max, but i bet only 1 and you can definately not fit anything between the strut and seat, any wheel and tire will be too tall to shut the hatch...and only one will fit the spare tires area, you can't stack two up, hatch won't close.

 

Good time to test your real friends. If no friends...well... you may be able to carry them on top of the Z... lol

 

There is no way to fit 4, I've tried, the most is three, two in the pass seat then one in the trunk

 

I'm going thru the same thing. Getting new rims & tires. Tried to measure it out too, but no way. Better off getting a friend's truck.

 

Definitely spend the $60 or so (rental + gas) that it will cost you to rent a pickup truck. It will probably cost you more to repair any damage that you incur trying to play Tetris inside your car with the wheels/tires.

 

4 tires without rim, yes it is possible. i know this because i did this just a couple of weeks ago. i put the 275/40 in the front seat, and the 245/40 fit in the rear hatch area. this is just the tires though and they was brand new, it might (and it is a big might) have fit with the wheels as well. i should have taken a picture, first with the tires in the car and the look on the nissan service guy's face when he saw them in there. and get this, not even a scuff or scratch on the interior at all.
