Default Fit 4 20" wheels IN an IS?

I am looking to pick up a set of wheels, but I don't have a larger vehicle I can borrow for the two hour trip. Will I be able to fit 4 20" wheels in the IS with the tires mounted?

I remember trying to get 4 19s with tires into the IS and it barely fit..

I don't think they will. Maybe if you stagger them in the back seat.

just borrow a buddy's van or truck.
its not worth having the risk of damaging the wheels.

He gonna damage his leather more so than the wheels. OP just like the other have said 3 inside 1 in the trunk is how i did it with my 19s. But I did protect my leather seats.

Ive fit all 4 with no issues. 1 in the front seat, 2 in the rear and 1 in the trunk.

Just make sure you have some old bed sheets to protect your interior

I fit four 19" wheels in the ISC and didn't even have to drop the top! No room for anyone else though.

I tried earlier today, was able to get 1 in the trunk, slid the passenger set all the way front, and put the 2 fronts and 1 rear wheel in the back seat (rear wider went behind the driver, and the other two behind the passenger seat) I put down a blanket and bagged the wheels before putting them in. .

too bad these aren't wheels for my car.. now to go pick up the wheels for my car.

I've done it plenty of times. You can either put one in the trunk two in the back and lay the passenger seat down to fit another one or you can do the same thing and fit three in the back and one in the passenger seat. I did this with tires mounted too btw. no damage to my seats. I layed down towels and large garbage bags and my tires were also wrapped in big bags from discount tire co

I barely manged to get my four 18s in the IS when I bought them, but then again my stereo takes up almost all of my trunk. Had two wheels in the back seat, one in the passenger seat and one it the trunk.

Yea it's really not that hard guys lol. I've done this at least 5 times in my car. One wheel in the trunk. Put a sheet to cover the entire back seats. And 3 will fit in the back seat. All you have to do is move the passenger front seat up a little.
