You could easily fit 2 in the trunk if you take out liners....and 2 in back seat...

I don't think I can take out the liners since I am at work and looking to pick up afterwards.

Do you guys think 1 will fit in the passenger seat?

One fits nicely in each back bucket seat, placed vertically. To get two in per seat, you'd be wedging them against the back of the front seats.

Yard debris bags are an easy way to transport grungy tires without making a mess.

It is possible to fit 4 wheels inside the SC, but it really depends on the width of the wheels. If the wheels are all wider than 10" it starts becoming more difficult. I've fit 4 supra TT wheels inside of the car before. 1 Behind the driver, 2 behind the passenger seat, and 1 on the passenger seat.

Just be careful when loading the rims into the car or you'll break the trim around the rear seat belts.

I've always wondered how so many of them got broken over the years. They're obviously a very flimsy design, but is a fairly distributed 50 lbs really enough to break them? I assumed it was mostly from trying to squeeze a 3rd passenger back there, or kneeling on the center section while cleaning the interior glass.

I used to just throw the wheels into the back seat. Unfortunately, one time I dropped it right on to the plastic, so I broke off a corner.

After replacing the plastic, I now gently slide the wheels into place to rest against the plastic with no issues.
