Do track tires fit in trunk and back seat

IrvineTim · 07-27-2015, 07:48 PM

Have any of you guys tried fitting a set of wheels and a jack in the trunk and back seat for track days? Just wondering if they will fit. My car is on order, cannot tell by eye balling at dealership.

They will definitely fit in the F80 with room to spare; 3 in the back seats and one in the trunk. Not sure about the F82.

In my M4 I put a 295/30X18 in the trunk. Then 2 285/30X18 on the rear seat. On top of those 2 tires I put the last 295/30X18. Still plenty of leg room; I'm 6'0".

Sorry, didn't realize you had an M4. Mobile app doesn't tell me.

I fit 4 20" BBS wheels in my M4, had to pull the rear seats down but they fit and wouldve still had room for a normal size jack

All four of my 275/35R18 NT01 comfortably fit on the back seat of my M4. I lay them flat on the seat and stack them up 2 high. I then secure them diagonaly with a tie strap from the footwell front seat belt anchor to the rear top baby seat anchor. I then have the full trunk available for other gear such as my tool box, compressed air tank, jack, suitcase, etc..,

I'm not doubting you, but I'd like to see a pic of this. In my sedan, I can't get two pairs of tires to sit flat side by side like that; the rear seats aren't wide enough. I have to sit two flat like you do, then one leaning on the stacked pair diagonally, last one in the trunk. Then again the coupe might be wider in the rear cabin?

I'll be loading my car up tomorrow for a 3 day track event this weekend. I'll take some pics for you Thomas

Sweet. This will be a good reference for other M4 owners.

I fit the stock 19's with stock PSS tires on them in my M4, with the back seats down and one in the trunk.

gsrbri · 08-04-2015, 06:50 AM

I fit my tires two ways in my M4 - Both ways are with seats folded down.

First: Three tires, standing up, across the rear, and one in the trunk. Second: Two lying flat and one on top (I can see better out the rear) and one in the trunk. I got my second idea from CanAutM3 when a friend walked by his car at Circuit Mt. Tremblant and saw all four, lying flat, on the folded rear seat. They do fit!

My tire combination is 275F and 305R on 18" wheels. NT-01 tires.

Once I move to wider 305 rears like you, I will likely have to switch to your transport setup

.

BTW, nice meeting you at LCMT this weekend. Do you happen to have those offsets for your wheels?

Nice man. These cars do have a lot more space than how it appears from the outside.

Nice meeting you, as well. I'll PM you with the offset if I can get them to provide it to me. Wondering if they will hold it as proprietary...hopefully not. -Brian
