Can all 4 17inch wheels fit in the car?

I might be getting new rims soon and I wanna know when I get them installed if I can possibly fit them on the ride back. The thing is I have a box with 2 twelves in the back I could take out the spare and fit one in the trunk.

I doubt you can fit all 4 rims w/ tire in your car, especially having a box w/ two 12"s in the trunk. I swapped out rims/tires a month ago and took my wife's 05Nissan Quest to pick up the wheels/tires and I have to say that they took up alot of room in the back of a pretty big mini van. Might want to find a friend that has an suv or larger car to help out IMO.

I've had all 4 in the car and also fit 4 new tires in there as well. If you lay the wheels down in the back seat, you can get 1 tires on top of each wheel. So 2 wheel/tires in the trunk, 2 wheel/tires on the back seat, 2 tires on top of the wheels in the back seat and 2 tires in the passenger seat. The best sight is when you unload them at the shop. My tire/alignment guy started laughing... said it was a fkin clown car.

I fit them the exact same way as mentioned above! 1 in front seat, 2 in back seat, and 1 in trunk cause i have a box with 2 10's in it. Just make sure you bring towels to cover the seats before putting the tires in

dont doubt our car fellas! i had 4 stock 17" rims with tires and 2 19" rims without tires all in my car, and add calculus, chemistry, history, psychology, and biology textbooks - i swear it feels like an extra person driving around with my books in my car. figure out the best way with the front seat scoot all the way up or somewhere in between if you want to put a rim in the front too (not recommended) or behind the seat on the floor and on the back seat...word of advice, ask the tire place for the giant bags

The trunk is big. You can fit 2-3 bodies back there.

Also, to the OP, you should be able to fit all of the wheels in there. Just make sure the tire shop wraps it in plastic for you. When I put my 4 in there, I just put the seat down and everything fit pretty easily.
