Transporting tires e92

I'm picking up some rims with 19" tires mounted today. Do you guys know if I will be able to fit them in an e92 with a passenger in the front seat?

should be fine. I've done it a few times. 1 in trunk, 1 overlapping trunk/rear, 2 in rear. the trick is with the overlapping one. there wont be room to have sitting flat

Thanks for the reply kol. Just wondering, what do you mean "overlapping trunk/rear". So they will be side by side but overlapping diagonally in the trunk. I don't think i can put them overlapping front and back in the trunk because my back seats don't fold down.

ah, i missed the point that your seats don't fold.

try this: 1 in trunk (a rear, since they are bigger)
2 flat side by side on your rear seats (you might have to move your front seats closer and drive uncomfortably)
1 in your passenger seat or on top of the 2 in the back

Lol I'm such a noob. Just found out I can fold my seats. I though the folding latch was supposed to at the front, but it's in the trunk haha. Thanks for the advice guys!

Cover up your rear seat and put all 4 tires standing up on your reear seat.
