Default How many tires can fit INSIDE an RC350?

Hey all, hope you're doing well. I'm looking to see how many wheels with tires can fit into the RC 350? Can you fit two in the trunk and two in the back seat? Am I dreaming?

Has anyone tried.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

You can. Just going to be hard to get the tires in there and you gotta protect your seats

Good question! I was potentially attempting to drive into the US from Canada to accept a delivery of tires and bring them back north -- it works out to be about $1000 CAD cheaper to do so. I've done it in previous cars, which sadly were quite a bit roomier

You can fold the back seats forward and create an open platform from the back of the front seats into the trunk. I would think that you could lay four tires on that area, and it's probably easier to slide them forward from the trunk than to roll them into the back seat. A sheet of masonite or plywood to protect the carpeted area would not be a bad idea.
I am glad to provide this suggestion, for which there is no charge, but I am not going to test my theory using my swell new red car.
Good luck with your project to smuggle tires into Canada four at a time.

sounds good brother but....there is always "a but"
Let's say rear tires are 265's or maybe 275's and to stack4 tires, 2 on top of each other in RC350...well that is pushing it.
Like you said
