Has anyone ever shoved 4 16" wheels and tires into their car?
 
Found a used set of 16" TE37s with tires I need to pick up, problem is they are 300km away from me and my only way to get them home is to shove them in my BRZ. At the same time I am delivering my other vehicle I sold up to that city so I would have a passenger with me on the way back that helped my drive my other car up.

Possible? 4 16X7 TE37s with 225/50/16 tires shoved in there?

I watched someone fit 3 18"9.5 and 2 18"8.5s with tires in their brz (one in front) so 4 16" should be cake.
put your back seats down and stack 2 in trunk and 2 in back.

I put 4x 17x8" RE30s *AND* 4x 235/40-17 tires, unmounted, into my BRZ.

You have to play Tetris.

4 wheels only, with tires? Easy.

You should be able to fit them in your car easily enough. I have carried 16x7 wheels with mounted 225/50/16 BFG Rivals in my BRZ. I've seen pics of people fitting 17x9 with mounted 245/45/17 tires in their cars.

OK well thats good news, because I know with my 135i I struggled to fit 2 18X8.5s and 2 18X9.5s with tires in there without using my front seat, and the BRZ is much smaller trunk and interior wise...

Yes, fold the seats down, lay three down from the trunk (or just two & load the others in through the front). & then stack the last one on top of one of the two in the front from the passengers side with the seat pushed all the way up. Then push the seat back so the passenger can sit down.

No problem. I've got a set of 16's and a set of 17's and they both fit OK.

i've fit the 4 stock wheels in my car with no problem. 3 on the back seat and one in the trunk.

I've done it when my snow tires and rims were delivered to my work place. I think I read somewhere it was designed to fit 4 tires and a toolbox for track days.

My snow tires+wheels are generally that size. No issues.

I've fit the stock wheel in my car no problem

I've had the factory rims and tires seperated, Impreza Sport rims, prodrive gc-o5f rims and tires seperated and 2012 wrx rims shoved in there.

I'm so envious that you have prodrive gc-05F...

Like others have said you should have no problems. I've fit 4 rims in the car.
