Will they fit? Just the wheels, 19x8, '13 non convertible GT. I have fit some oddly shaped items in there before, anything from an unassembled kitchen table and 4 chairs from IKEA, to a full suspension large 29er mountain bike. I would think that with the seats down, one wheel on each of the back seats, and the other two in the actual trunk, it would fit.

Anyone know for sure?

Yeah. I carried 4 19x9.5 wheels unboxed with the seats down. Fit no problem. Did have to put the seat backs up a little more upright than normal as well.

Unboxed, forgot to mention that. I figured that they would fit, just wanted to make sure before driving an hour to get to find that only three would fit.

Yeah, I bought them with boxes when I got mine but just broke the boxes down. The boxes layed flat across the top of the wheels. Fit for the four was not a problem though and I had a passenger with.

When I bought new wheels and tires, I managed to get 2 18X9 and 18x10 wheels, and 2 255/45/18 and 2 285/40/18 in the car. However it felt like a circus car. I could barely move in it.

If you are buying used wheels, there's a good chance that they will be dirty with road grime and brake dust. You may wanna throw in a couple of old towels or an old sheet to keep your trunk area/interior clean.

I bought race wheels out of town and the rears had tires on them . I put the two rear wheels/tires in the back seats and buckled them in, then put the two front wheels (in boxes) in the trunk. Plenty of room.

....and gloves because chances are those dirty tires will get your hands and then all over your stearing wheel, door panel, shift knob, etc.

If you have a seat delete you can fit one in the trunk and 3 behind you.

Ask me how I know. :lol:

They fit easily. Probably could have fit another wheel or two in there no problems. Seller had them bagged. No need for gloves.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Late to the question, but I sold a set of 20x9's with tires and they fit in a coupe and there was a front seat passenger too.
