I was planning on having someone bring a station wagon that I can borrow for hauling them back. Any other ideas?

I'm pretty sure trying to transport 4 stock wheels with tires in a 350Z would be impossible...

same basic thing as what you said. had my dad come with the pickup later that day and grab them from discount tire.

i have seen a thread here a while back where a guy talked about getting all four in. i may be mislead but i think he went as far as to take the passenger seat out, and then even still had to put one in the back after removing the spare and everything else.

crazy stuff.

Didn't put them in the Z. Went back later to pick them up in my truck.

I have also heard of people removing the spare tire and putting one there, one up top between the front seats and the rear strut bar, the other 2 standing straight up in the passenger seat. I am not sure this would work, but thought I might mention it.

4 in the car works. Take out the spare, take out the trunk mat. Make sure to bag (or double bag) in HD trash bags. Put 1 in the spare well, 1 inbetween the strut/seats. 2 in the front (standing up). Seeing out of the passenger side is a b!tch and changing to the right lane is damn near dangerous. I took my 17" stockers back.

We actually got 4 in a car, what you need to do is take the spare out, then when you go, you put one in the spare, one in the trunk, and two in bags for the backseat.

Yeah, I've been looking for the illusive backseat for about a year now, and just cant seem to find it. Where did u find that backseat for a Z cause I sure would like to use it.

Considering we don't change rims that often. It would be worth it to make a second trip with a larger car.
