ha, so many configurations its like a jig saw puzzle. i would just borrow a 2nd car or van or make 2 trips. plus you gota worry about bringing your old tires back to you place, and guarantee those things will be dirty as heck. your gona have to plaster your whole tire back seats with a cloth so it doesnt get dirty.

I've done it! 2 Wheels in trunk. 2 wheels on passenger. 4 tires in the rear.

19 inch wheels also for me. Very doable.

Just remember to have towels and fabrics to keep the leather clean.

Just take off your rear seats and front seats.

Thanks for all the replies and tips guys.

I didn't know I could ship them straight to the shop. I think I prefer the peace of mind knowing when it arrives and getting to inspect the rims, especially since this is the second time getting them, they screwed up my first set.
This will turn into a fun little project, like fitting 20 clowns in a MINI. I'll post pics when the time comes.

i put towels down on the rear seat interior.. put all 4 of my wheels INCLUDING tires in it.. put towels OVER the rims so they dont get any grease on your interior roof.. if it does, some fastorange will get it right out

It's doable. I've done it before. Just make sure to bring lots of towels to protect your interior.

It's doable, I've done it. my advice is put the wheels into trash bags first. Then use towels as the main protection.

Doable, but is it worth the risk? Either make a few trips, or as a friend to transpoer with you.

BTW, why not ask the shop to bring a truck to your place to help you transport them? Give them a big tip when it's all setup...

you can def fit them. Put one tire in the trunk, 2 tires on the front seat, 1 tire on the floor behind the pass seat and the 4 wheels on the back seats.

Ok I did a test run and looks good! I had to put up the driver seat a little so I have to drive crunch up like a grandma, but lucky the shop isn't too far!

Pics from my Droid: I lost my DSLR from a long drunken night..... sigh
2 in the front

2 in the trunk

4 in the back

(Yes those are my white fuzzy dice!)



Hope this helps someone!
