Do FOUR 19" tires fit inside the coupe?

I need to transport 4 tires to where my rims will be at. Do you think two 245/35/19 and two 275/30/19 tires will fit in the trunk and back seat? Just curious if anyone has done this. I'm getting new shoes put on my G coupe this saturday.

oh yeah, i may need to sit someone in the front seat too. i have a feeling its not gonna happen.

yes, one in the passenger, two in the rear seat, one in the trunk. prolly could fit more if you wanted to.

I fit 4 in my car, with tires, and with boxes

1 in the trunk (no box)

3 in the rear, two on top and one on the side sitting slant. All in boxes. It's tough, but they do fit. I just had to sit ultra close to the steeringwheel. It wasn't pleansant, driving 1 hr home

Man, I miss the old days with huge trunks. My friend had an older Camry (98') and back then I was able to put all four 17" rims and tires all in his trunk. When I got my 19"'s I had to take my 17" stock rims back home. I was able to get 2 in the trunk and 2 in the back seats. I do have the sedan and I do know that the trunk on the coupe is slightly shallower, but hopefully you will be able to get them all in there.

SLIGHTLY? ha, there's a world of difference. I love looking in the trunk when i get a sedan loaner, the thing is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE compared to the coupe. I actually had to buy new luggage because my largest bag wouldn't fit in the trunk!!!!!!

When i did buy my g, my only stipulation for the trunk was that it HAD to fit 2 golf bags. I actually took 2 sets (one was a friend's) to the dealership to test it out. I had a volkswagen GTI before and my clubs didn't fit in the trunk so i had to keep them in the rear seat.

yeah, i actually have trash bags left over when i was transporting tires for my other car.

guess i phrased it wrong, but i will be sitting a passenger next to me. so basically all i have to work w/ is the trunk and the tiny rear seats. its nice the rear seats folds down but not sure if a tire can pass through there.

I did it just yesterday. One in the trunk and three in the back seat (two more or less flat on the folded-down seatback, and the third behind the folded-forward passenger's seat).

Absolutely. I carry sets of wheels in my car all the time. 1 in the trunk, and 3 in the back seat. Just fold it down and put one in the middle as far back as it goes. Then put the other two diagonally vorming sort of an "A: shape. / _ \

You probly can put 2 in the trunk if you removed your spare and cover. and then the other 2 in the back seat.

does the interior get thrashed afterwards? like someone mentioned earlier, getting the roof lying dirty is a pain to clean; not so much for the seats.
