Default Fitting wheels inside roadster?

I will be picking up some 18" wheels and I need to know if I will be able to use the Z to pick them up? Can I stuff one in the cavity where the top goes? Will two fit in the trunk, two in passenger seat? These are wheels has anyone done this with a roadster?

Well I have to drive over 300 miles to pick them up, so that will not work. There are no tires mounted to the wheels, just the wheels. If I wrap them in blankets how many will I be able to fit them in the passenger seat?

Without tires I'd imagine you might be able to fit 2 in the back next to each other? And the other 2 on top of each other on the passenger seat with string around the back of the seat.

I simply removed the spare tire + passenger seat to transport all 4 18inch wheels (with rubber).

This way you don't have wheels on your seat either. Seat comes out with 4 14mm bolts. Takes 5 minutes to do.

Well these are rims only no rubber, so will I still need to remove the seat?

Default 4 rims

I transported 4 inch rims from Houston to Dallas. I put 2 in the passenger's seat, one in the passenger floorboard and one in the trunk, it was fine. VERY TIGHT, but fine.
