Default Any able to fit a pair of spare wheels in trunk of a Z?

I've been going to a few drift events and found it so inconvenient transporting a pair of 17x9' w/ tires in my car. I've been belting in one wheel in the passenger seat, and having the other wheel in the trunk in place of the spare tire.

Anyone able to fit 2 in the rear? I hate having a tire 6 inches away from my face.

Yup, I put two in the back. Well, sort of. One in the spare tire spot, and the other in between the rear strut bar and the seat. I take my drift tires to the event like that.

Interesting, do you guys do that from outside the trunk, or do you shove the wheel in there from the inside?

from outside for me. I think it can be done both ways. It can be a bit tough if its a wide tire though. Getting it in is easier then out though.

thanks for the advice. I guess I'll just take out the trunk panels whenever I decide to stuff wheels in there. It's a 17x9 with a 245 tire, so I'm guessing itll be a bit more stubborn. Oh well.

I've fit 2 17" 235's in the back twice before. Took some thinking and persuasion though...they're better off in the front, which is where I always put them now.
