Can we fit...
I feel somewhat dumb for starting this thread, and it can be deleted as soon as my question is answered , but can we fit four regular size tires in our trunk?

Some of the answer depends on whether you are talking tires and rims or just tires. If you are asking about tires and rims, the answer is no. Tires only - it can be done but it will take a little effort. Any time I have transported four tires, I have put two in the trunk and two in the back seat in the interest in saving time and effort.

Seriously doubt even with effort that you can fit all 4 in the trunk. I manage to put 3 245/45/17 tires in the trunk (3rd was a bit of a struggle) and the 4th went in the back seat.
2nd time around, I did what NPB did as it was more efficient than to struggle placing 1 more tire in the trunk.

From experience:
Wheels with tires - 2 in trunk, 2 in rear seats area (NOT on the seats!, on the floor).
Wheels only, no tires - 3 in trunk, 1 in rear seat floor.
I guess with tires no wheels, 2 in trunk, 2 in rear.

I've only had to transport the 17" stockies 
It fits perfectly standing up on the ground behind the front seats.
Held in place front to back via the front seat and against the rear seats,
held side to side via the center console/middle ground bump and the rear doors,
everything wrapped in towels of course too
Now if you're a big guy, or have that gangsta lean going on, you can't fit them on the ground of the rear seats lol

another reason I wish the seats went down in these modern Hondas/Acuras. My old accord was great for cargo when the rear seat folded down.
My Integra hatch..could probably fit 2 full sets wheels in that

No 40/60 is a pain sometimes. I don't have a bike rack and whenever I wanna bring the bike somewhere I have to remove the front wheel and put it on the back seat with something to cover both pedals to make sure they don't scratch the center console or rip the back seats.

Folding seats would have been nice, but not a lot of cars in our class have them. Not sure what the reason is . It's just going to be for 17 tires that I ordered. I think I'll be able to cram them in the trunk, my back seats look like they've never been sat in , and I want it to stay that way.

^^^ Rims yes, because they are smaller than tires.

I didn't recognize who was posting because of your picture change. I think all of Acurazine would side with my opinion of the rabbit being far more entertaining. And screw it, they're going to fit in the trunk whether they like it or not.

No disrespect meant and just keep in mind while tires are tough, they can be damaged as well as the the trunk lid and locking mechanism if forced.
