Wheels fitting in hatch

[UnBeetable69]

i found some wheels i wanted to get on craigslist but i higly doubt they will fit in my car even with the back seats down. has anyone fit an entire wheel set in their car before?

You must be talking wheels AND tires. 4 or 5 wheels alone would be no problem.

Yes - I hauled my new rims in boxes to Discount Tire when I first got them to get them mounted...fit the stock wheels with tires on the return trip with the seat down.

I think the right question is, "Are the tires mounted on the wheels"?

If they are already mounted, then fitting them in the car won't be a problem.

If they are separate (4 wheels + 4 tires = 8 THINGS), then you'll have to bust out some Tetris skills and have a lot of moving-blankets.

Here's 4 MOUNTED tires in Nubz. There's still quite a bit of room here, but you'll need to stack all the way to the roof if the tires are not mounted.

^^ What Judee said.

When I switched my wheels I put all four of the stockers that I took off in the back exactly the way Judee described and drove them over 300 miles without a single one shifting or getting dinged up or anything

If you're worried about the two that are stacked you can use a blanket or a towel in between them, but they should be 100% fine.
