Will I bet able to fit it all in my 1?

Do you think I'll be able to fit 4 rims (with tires on them) plus 4 unmounted snow tires in my 1? I need to take the rims (which have all-seasons on them now) and the tires somewhere to get them mounted and balanced and then I'll have to take the summer rims (with performance tires on them) and unmounted all-season tires home with me. I know I can fit 4 tires in there easily and I'm pretty sure I can fit 4 rims with tires on them in there (I could in my Audi TT) but can I fit all 8? If I can't what are my options?? I really don't want to make two trips.

I'm thinking maybe fold the rear seats down and 4 rims in the trunk and back seat, two tires on top of them in the rear seat and 2 tires in the passengers seat?

I just barely fit my performance rims and tires for them in the car. It required a lot of stacking and finagling, and they didn't have tires on them at the time.

But I think it's doable -- they don't pack very well into the car since they're an oddly-sized shape, but the volume is definitely there. Just bring a sheet (or two, or three..) so you don't mess up the seats and stuff.

2 tires in the trunk.... 2 stacks of 2 tires in the back seat.... and then maybe try to fit 2 more next to you (hopefully you dont have a far drive)...

I fit 4 rims in the trunk and 4 tires on the seats(in bags of course) no problem...

I did it!

Here is how:
3 rims w/tires in the trunk (seats folded down, 1 mostly in the trunk, 2 push forward in to the back seat area)
2 tires in the back seat on top of the rims.
1 tire lying diagonally on the rims at the rear of the trunk.
1 tire vertically behind the passenger seat (slid forward as far as it can go)
1 rim w/tire in the passenger seat (with seatbelt on)

I did it once last night and it wasn't so bad, but it was harder this afternoon because the rims I took off were 18" and thus larger (and wider) than the snow rims.

Take out the Passenger seat and I don't think you would have a problem. Otherwise, yeah you might want to take some free time out of the day in order to try to fit all of that in there. Maybe something like 2 hours!
