Will It Fit?

Not a chance man. Considering you can only fit one wheel with no tire back there and not touch the sides. Last week I brought 19" Rays and new tires to the dealership to have them mounted. I had to use my buddy's WRX and we barely made it work. Put one wheel in my rear hatch, stuffed the rest in his Subie. Two wheels sitting on top of eachother in his passenger seat, the rest of the tires and wheels squished in his back seats and trunk. The guys at the dealership were amazed. My rear tires are 285, but they are so much bigger than you think when it comes time to move them.

Thanks for the input man! I appreciate it. I didnt think it was likely, but thought I'd ask the question anyway.

Don't think you can get more than two in the Z . One in back hatch and one on the passenger seat. I just loaded up new Michelins SS to mount and only could load two up. That was all I needed since my tread on the front was still good. Best way to do it if you want four mounted is buy tires from Tirerack on line and have them sent to the installer which is an option to mailing to your address. Then simply drive down.

I'd be really intersted in seeing them!

Yeah, you know what they say about hind sight, right?

i picked up a set of tires and wheels for a buddy of mine, granted they were all 225 18s, i got 2 in the hatch (barely) and the other 2 on passenger side, wider tires is going to be a really really tight squeeze if it is possible
