Tires in the trunk
 

Hi guys,
I am currently trying to decide between a 2016 z and a fr-s. I had a question about the trunk space . I live in a area that gets a little snow fall each year and i would need to swap out the normal tires for snow ones in the winter. to make my life easier it would awesome if i could fit these tires in the trunk to drive them to the garage to swap out. Does any one know if you can fit 4 tires in the trunk ( the fr-s is tight but with the back seats down you can) this is one of the last unknown points i need for deciding so your feed back or advice would be awesome .

Hoping to join the z brother hood soon

Naw...Just get the Frs!

Not too sure but you might be able to squeeze in 3 in the back and one in the passenger

If you don't mind gutting your interior. I'm not sure about touring package but with sport package setup the most you can do is 3 rims with tires. This is after gutting the interior, two rears (fat as hell) in the back and a front riding shotgun.

You can, however, fit 4 fr-s tires in the z because they come with prius tires and have the section width of a little girl's arm.

Depends on the tire size. I supposed you can squeeze two tires each behind the driver and passenger seat, one on the front passenger, and one in the hatch.

But honestly I lol at your reason for deciding one car over another because the one time you need to swap tires. Get the fr-s. You're not ready for a Z.

Edit: profile says you have a nissan frountier.

Here is a quick DIY courtesy of kenchan's tips and tricks for idiots.

1. Drop the tires and wheels off in the truck.
2. Get them mounted
3. Drive them back home and install on the Z.
4. Done

I highly doubt neither car can fit 4 tires. Just get a friend to help you carry the tires there.

By the way, this has got to be the most irrelevant factor to consider b/w the Z and FR-S

Guy: "Sweet FR-S bro! What made you get this instead of the Z?"
You: "Cuz it can fit 4 tires......bro"

Slow as hell but I can carry four tires! :ughdance:

It doesn't get any dumber than this ...

This is all you're fitting in the trunk:


Sorry, don't know how to resize image.

wow so a lot of you don't read a post in full. i never said this was a deciding factor just a last point i didn't know to add the list of stuff i'm already using to consider . the truck will be gone when i buy the new car so not a option

in my 350Z, i was able to fit 4 tires. 2 in the passenger seat, and two in the rear. however, keep in mind that the 350Z has smaller tires and it was a tight fit. with the 370Z having wider and bigger tires, it would probably be 3 tires.

So you don't know a single person with a truck, suv, wagon, etc. that would be able to help you out once or twice a year...the I agree with this "Naw...Just get the Frs!"

LOL dude, how much are you driving to be replacing tires once or even twice a year?

read OP's post.... :shakes head: It's for seasons not for wear.

OP, most people just get an extra set of rims. You can usually get a set for about $500

my bad. no need to get butt-hurt over a simple mistake.:tiphat:

I had the same issue until I found some used (slightly bent) OEM rims for 500 bucks. I had them trued ($200) and now have summer rims and winter rims. I think thats a better option than swapping out your rubber every 6 mos.

just an option.

ps the BRZ is *very* different to drive from a Z. I recommend a few very aggressive test drives in both. (ie really open them both up on a freeway on ramp)

...Then go buy your Z ;)

Suppose a farmer with a rowboat is on one bank of a river with a fox, a goose, and a sack of corn. He wants to get the fox, goose, and the sack of corn to the other side of the river but can only carry one at a time in the rowboat.

How does he do it?

Get the Z and a set of winter wheels for the winter tires. swap them at home. Problem solved. While the FR-S/BRZ is a nice looking car, they are slow and not as fun to drive.

I fit 4 tires in the Z :) it's tight but it fits two in the hatch and two on the passenger seat

^this, I have winter wheels for all my cars/trucks except my Z, it hibernates in the winters

This.

:rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
i replace my tires once a year... but i also put on about 25,000-30,000 miles a year :roflpuke2:

nope, 4 tires wont fit. This is what I did:

1) Put tires on my wife's VAN
2) Drop off tires to tire shop.
3) Drive Z to Tire Shop and install.
4) Pick up tires on wife's Van.

Done.

Or you can buy the Z. Do the trailer mod and put a trailer with all your tires.

Can always just buy the 370z extended package with rear seats

:shakes head:

too many steps! :mad:

Step1: Hibernate
Step2: Done!

You're overworking yourself brah. I can make it simpler.

1. Keep the truck

/thread

WOW niknakx. I can see you are new to this forum. On this forum we like to make fun in order to keep things going. We like to make fun of others but in a good sense as long as is not insulting nor disrespecting anyone. I make fun of others post, and sometimes others make fun of my postings. Nothing wrong with that, we are all grown and (I speak for my self) thick skinned.
Is nothing personal, just a light joke and it happens here all the time. If you don't believe me... read my signature.

You can fit all four tires in the 370z, that's how I got to drift events before I bought fastguy9r's trailer hitchAttachment 103012Attachment 103013

He forgot to mention, "As for choices, it was either a pick-up truck or an FR-S for the sole purpose of fitting 4 tires". "I really like the Z, but no room for tires so forget about it". :leghump:

Dumb
 

Just plain dumb.

I can't even find a way to fit 2 285 series tires (without rims) into my NISMO without using the passenger seat... you guys would probably kick my *** at Tetris.:confused:

And yeah, stupid thread.:shakes head:

I have fit 4 stock sized tires in my car. Took out the passenger seat (4 bolts). Two in the cabin, 2 in the trunk.
