Doubt it. Would you really want to risk scratching something even if they would though?

^^^ No way, ain't gonna fit. I couldn't fit more than 2 G-Spider rims (no tires) in the trunk. Your best bet is to move the front passenger seat all the way forward and stack 3 of the wheels on the back seat . . .

The trunk is too small to fit even two of my 18" rim/tires in it.

I just hauled for (4) 18" Michelin tires of stock sizes to the dealer to get installed yesterday and I was shocked that I could only get one tire to fit in the trunk! I tried different angles and no luck. I had to put one tire in the trunk, 2 in the back seat and one in the front passenger seat.

No chance of having too much "junk in ma trunk" haha

How much did the dealer charge you to install those tires?
