quick question: can 4 stock tires fit in my frs?
 

Due to some reasons I have to buy tires online and directly ship to me and I need to drive the tires to local tire shop(which does not accept online shipping). Before I pull the trigger just want to know if I try my best would it be possible to fit all four stock sized tires in my frs? has anyone successfully done that?

The car is stock 2014 frs monogram. tires are also the factory size 215/45R17.

Thanks a bunch!

Yes you can! And plus some...

Yes.
But use some common sense, if you're going to try to carry a bunch of other stuff (a lot of other stuff) you're going to have a hard time getting everything in there.
Also.....if you just google this very question you'll see pictures and even video on how to do it.

The car has been marketed to fit a full set of track day wheels in the trunk with the seats folded down PLUS a floor jack.

Keep in mind that they made this claim with an empty stock trunk. if you have party balloons and an elephant in the back, 4 stock wheels probably won't fit

Quick answer: yes.

Longer answer: They can't sit all flat side by side, but they'll all fit. Until recently I was packing my set of summer or winter wheels (with tires mounted) into the car to have the dealer swap them over for me. They'd repack the car and I'd head home. Totally doable. Just drop the back seat, scoot the passenger seat and seatback up a little, put two of them back there more or less side by side, insert one through the trunk and lift it to rest on top of the first two at an angle, and then insert your last one into the trunk, it'll probably be off set to one side wherever you have the most room. And off you go.

Yes, if the trunk monkey moves over ..:D

You don't even need to use the trunk, just fold the rear seats down and stack them 2x2.

Another solution is ratcheting straps, all 4 wheels standing, and route the straps through the tires and use the baby seat anchors on the rear shelf to tie down.

oops, Someone missed the marketing. Well done. Now we know you got it to drive it and ask questions about little details after.. I like it.

Normally yes, but since yours is a Monogram, then no.

Should fit no problem! :)

As others said of course! Drop the Rear seats and you'll have more than ample amount of room. The rear area was supposedly designed to fit a set easily.

I fit 4 x 235/45R17 winters mounted on 17x8 wheels no problem. Rear seats down front passenger seat reclined back.

Because....?

Best commercials.

I'm guessing a … @Clipdat brain fart … ;)

Because it's a joke. Making fun of how OP mentioned it's a monogram, as if that makes a difference in the internal storage space available.

I've fit a set of four full wheels and tires and another set of four tires (had to put one tire in the passenger seat). But yeah, just four tires is no problem at all.

Yes,

I've done it enough times thanks to winter tire/summer tire changing and moving the tires between storage and my mechanic. Definitely putting them all on the back seat is the easiest way without thinking about it. If you wanted it to lay it out how the old Japanese brochures advertised with 2 in the trunk and 2 on the back seat...that works but not as cleanly or as easily as advertised.

You can, in fact, fit a set of the 18" TRD staggered wheels equipped with Continentals, two Arai helmets, a floor jack and tools, and a round can of VF race fuel.

Depends. Does it have heated seats?

Enough with this thread!

Hell, even Sapphireho can fit four wheels in trunk of his Lotus … :sigh:

No worries, hahah. I was wondering if it actually would matter, because I don't know how to Monograms are equipped. So if they come with a subwoofer in the trunk or something like that, I could see that possibly affecting your 4 tire carrying capabilities.

Dug this out of that really old, early brochure for the car that's stickied somewhere on the forum. Had to zoom quite a bit, so sorry about it being pretty grainy like someone drew it on a pyramid wall forever ago. But hey, a picture's worth a thousand words, right?

The brochure also gives a nice layout for two wrapped, decapitated bodies and their handbags. Works well.

Absolutely.


You can also fit 4 tires AND 4 wheels (unmounted) in this car if the need arises...

And people say this car isn't practical! Dexter could've enjoyed his drives to the boat launch so much more in an 86. :bellyroll:

I think we have been over this before. You put the hookers heads in the bags.

How dare you assume their profession!

And prepare for the next since the passenger's hands are clearly tied in front of them.

Just betting with the favorite.

i just fit a set of 17x9 rims and a set of 245/40R17 tires in the frs yesterday... 2 rims in the trunk, 2 other rims in the box on the front seat and all 4 tires in the back seat with the backseat down

If I would post a picture of a naked woman on this thread, would a moderator close it??

:popcorn:

Can she fit in the back with 4 tires?

You're NOT helping.

:sigh:

You sound like my wife.

Welp :iono: what can I say.

:D


humfrz

No, Rodger's voice is a bit deeper and he has a totally different accent than your wife. They don't sound anything alike at all.
