Can I fit 4 unmounted new tires in the Z?

kfull

I swear I've seen a picture here somewhere of someone who fit 4 tires (not on wheels) in their z. 2 in the back, fold passenger seat forward a bit, one behind seat and 1 on seat?

might be possible, I've only ever tried to fit 2 at a time lol,

only way I can think that it would work, 1 rear tyre in back first, 1 front tyre on angle with hatch in the back sitting on the other tyre.

move front seat forward as much as possible and see if you can fit maybe the front behind the seat, or more the front seat back as much as possible and try put the front sideways on the floor in front of the seat/back tyre sitting on the front seat itself.

again highly going to depend on sizes, I run 20x 305's and 255's, and I doubt 4 would fit in lol, haven't tried though! give it a go

I was able to do 2x 19/265 and 2x 19/305. I had two wedged between the seats and brace bar in the back and the other two in the passenger area. It was a tight fit though. Getting the car into reverse took a little bit of work. Also no rear and right visibility.

Well I just tried, fit 3 wasn't going to fit 4 though unless I did some serious shimmying, and I don't wanna risk any marks or anything in the car, so I'm just gonna bum a ride off someone for the tires. On the bright side, I'll have 4 new PSS's mounted tomorrow

OTW Z-Boy

Have you tried:
1 of the 305s in the trunk
1 of the 265s in between the seats (on top of the armrest cubby)
(Passenger seat all the way back and reclined fully) with 305 on the seat and a 265 sitting on top of the 305?

I fit 4 19/9.5 x 11 wheels in their boxes in this configuration. Good luck

Someone post pictures of this feat!

i did in my old 350Z once. haven't tried the 370. in the 350 i did the rears on the front seat (tight fit for 275/40r18) and the fronts (245/40r18) in the back hatch area, anyone familiar wiht a 350Z knows that the crossbar right in the trunckspace made that near impossible.

yah, one less thing to worry about too.. you know, the tire guys using impact guns and ruining the paint around the lug bores..

since you are going to be rolling the old wheels in, remove the weights, center cap and valve caps before you do. save you more headache that way. if you have aftermarket wheels, remove the centering ring as well if it came with them.
