Hi Aki, given that Civic has a 4 door variant and it has a larger, I would guess you can easily fit 4 wheels in your car fairly easily. BTW, how do you fit those 4 wheels for your track day?

So I would expect trunk like in 130i, which is not bad at all...

Considering that, and how big the Celica trunk space is, I don't see it as an issue.
I am guessing the trunk space is probably between 250 and 350 liters (9.3 to 13 cu. ft), probably in 300 liters (11 cu. ft) range. If this is a coupe with trunk, I guess you can only fit 2 wheel in the trunk and than put the extra 2 on the back seat. With a liftback and fold-flat seat, you can lay then on the floor without bags to protect your interior. Otherwise you need to get the tires bagged and put them in the back seat. This is what I am guessing.

BTW, anyone could share a picture of the trunk/liftback on 7th gen celica? I think this car should compare pretty good in terms of the size of that celica, so we might have some hints on size.

And xravexboix, thanks for the info. Hopefully this is true when they release the production version.
