yes you can

cdo221 03-14-2014 12:50 PM

Yes, easily. Just throw down the back seats and it'll fit fine. I've fit 18" wheels in the back trunk/seats area more than once.

It's a tighter fit if you got tires on them but should still work. I didn't try to squeeze it in but I've fit 3 tires + 17"s in the back, plus 1 tire+17" wheels in the passenger seat before.

Put the back seat down, stack them up.

Put a blanket or something soft against the tire and the back of the front chairs, they love to rub.

Yeah... but it can be a little tricky
 
With back seat down... I was able to get four 17 x 8.0 wheels with Mich PSS tires into the FRS.. but it took a bit of wrangling.

1. The two wheels/tires furthest front - side-by-side -- had to be tilted up (rear-facing section) so that the 3rd wheel tire could slide under a bit... enough so that the 4th wheel/tire could then be put in last.

2. Depending on how far back the driver's seat must go for you to be comfortable, you might find that you have to move the seat a little more forward than you'd like to make it all work.

Maybe I didn't configure this right, but it seemed to be what needed to be done. I'm not sure how the claims that "4 wheels/tires, a jack, and a tool box will fit..." works... especially if you have a passenger in front. Maybe the claim is based on stacking the jack and tool box on top of the front-most wheels/tires.

That's like fitting 8 tires. Won't work.

vroom4 03-14-2014 02:26 PM

First lesson.

17 = diameter of wheel
" = symbol for inches

Correct useage is 17".

apparently you CAN fit 8 tires in a twin.
I will give it a try fitting 4 wheels and 4 tires in somehow and report back.

Easily. Beyond easily really.

VuDism 03-15-2014 03:56 PM

I can confirm you can for (4) 17x9 wheels and (4) 245/40/17 tires in the FRS. Separated.

Wheels stacked in back seat with protection/padding. One tire between the 2 wheel stacks in back seat. 2 tires in front seat. One tire in trunk.

Probably better way to do this tho

Yeah, 4 tires will fit no problem. 3 on folded back seat, one in trunk. Plenty of space left for luggage, tools and full use of passenger seat.

I can confirm - I did this today. I had 4 225/40/18 tires and 4 18x8 rims packed into my car on the way to the tire shop. It was a jigsaw puzzle!!!

I had 2 tires in the passenger seat, 1 tire hangin over the passenger seat, with headrest removed and 1 tire laying diagonal against the tire hanger over it. Then I had 2 rims stacked on top of one another behind the drivers seat and 2 rims in the trunk area. It took me a few mins to place all of this into the car...

In comparison - putting the 4 stock wheels, with OEM tires back into the car was a breeze... can easily fit them in a number of ways. :D

Anyone try 4 18x9.5 with 255s stuffed in back? I will be in a few days, might have to use some KY Jelly

I had 2x 18x8.5 and 2x 18x9.5 rpf1 with 235 and 255 tyres fitted. Unfortunately I have the raised donut for the spare so nothing fit into the boot at all, but still managed to get them all in the back seat.
Passenger seat all the way forwards, and my seat way forward, so I was basically on top of the steering wheel...and I'm 6'2" haha.
But I got through the 1.5 hour mountain trip like that.

Nope I wasn't able to fit my wheels the fitted subwoofer upgrade takes nearly 9' of space from this happening

Since it's about the season when most are taking their winter tire off. I figured I'd post up pics of 4 tires and 4 rims fitting in the frs. Please forgive the cell phone quality. :thumbsup:
