Transporting Four 18 inch Wheels inside an E90

academic · 01-02-2008, 04:12 AM

I thought I saw someone enquire about fitting 4 18 inch wheels inside an E90 but my apologies, I cannot find the original thread. I thought I may post these images as a reference. The wheels inside my car are from a new Lexus IS (Type X Alloys with 225/40/18 and 255/40/18 tires) and therefore, very similar to the E9X ZSP set-up. With some help, you can stuff all 4 of your Style 162, 189, 195, 197, etc, mounted with tires into the car. Transporting wheels (especially when dirty) is a gutsy move with Lemon Leather but I have already done this quite a few times while swapping on / off my winter wheels.

This is nothing. I've carried 4 19" rims and tires SEPARATELY in my car. Yes, they fit.

+1 I agree -- A corvette guy transported 4 wheel and tires (16 inch) in his vette...

1 in the trunk and 3 in the back looks much easier than what you did!!!!!!!!!

Minipuck transported an entire Mtech kit inside of his E90....4 wheels, no problem. You should be able to fit, 2 in trunk, 4 on back seat, 1 on front seat...if you really wanted to change up your configurations.

My mechanic stores mine at his shop and swaps them out each season, usually at no charge; I never have to touch them.

two in the trunk and two in the backseat. no fold down seats required.

JSpira · 01-02-2008, 12:31 PM

I would recommend you look into Tire Totes. Excellent for storage.

I once had a hippopottomous in my car. I picked him up hitchhiking.

nagge · 01-02-2008, 01:37 PM

Put the two 225's in the trunk on top of each other, then put the 255's in each of the back seats. No folding down required.

Holy carp, that's a lot of storage - and surprising to be able to fit all 4 rims in the car! Awesome.

Thanks for the tip. Ironically, I do have the Michelin tire totes. They were on my set of wheels. I didn't think I would need them since the Lexus wheels were "shrink wrapped" and hoping that wouldn't soil the light Lemon leather. Tire totes are great. Thanks again.

Bump on that one. Less work of having to actually put down the seats. I did that with my e90.

Pom Performance · 01-04-2008, 07:59 PM

I put 1 in the trunk and 3 in the backseat on my E92.

I fit 4 18" wheels/tires in boxes in my 02 Hyundai Accent
