Fitting 4 wheels in car

Someone posted a picture of fitting 4 wheels in the Z and I can't find the picture anymore. Does anyone know for sure if they would be able to fit

You can but it's dangerous. I know the picture you are talking about, the OP of that post said that the tire was making steering and shifting very difficult and had no visibility out of the car.

You have to know someone with a vehicle appropriate for this task. It's unreasonable to use your Z for this.

LOL that's hillarious. I could've sworn the post I saw awhile back had all the wheels fit perfectly in the Z. From the looks of this, it probably won't look pretty at all.

I've done it twice now, can repost pics from the first time, its on here from about a year ago. Take out spare, one goes there, one half over the center bar, two in the passenger seat. You have to roll down the window, hold up the tires to close the door. Likewise you have to hold them up to get into reverse on the MT, or plan ahead to drive straight out. Again you have to limp along in 4th (ok, maybe zoom).

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else, but the Z is my only car and I won't be afraid to do it again.
