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...

Joon525 07-09-2018 03:22 PM

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.

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.
