Do 4 Wheels and BFG R1s fit in my E92 back seat?
Does anyone have any experience with this? I have an E92. Sizes are 275/35/18 mounted on Apex Arc-8 18x10.
I picked up the tires today and was able to fit all 4 in the back but I am not sure about whether they will fit mounted on the wheels. I am having them mounted and balanced tomorrow but if they won't fit I will exchange them for something I can drive to the track. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I have had my staggered Volks 4 across with 265/35/18 and 285/35/18 but I wasn't sure with the R1s since they seem to run wide. |

This is with backseats folded down or kept up?

Yes, you can most definitely do this! I get 4 across the back vertically with seats normal, kinda snug but just channel your inner jigsaw-puzzle-self, no prob. It saves the trunk for jack, tool box, cooler, tent, yada yada. Tire totes plus an old mover's blanket help keep interior brake dust free. The Porsche guys get jealous when you drive up and spill out all your "haul" out of your daily driver all over the paddock and set up camp---cause they can't! (unless they trailer, of course, but that's cheating and defeats the purpose).

Yeah, seats normal so you can see over the tires through your rear view mirror.
If you remove your rear seats you can stack them the other way and get 6 back there.........

You can't be serious? I've gotten 8 wheels with tires mounted + 1 tire + track stuff in my E46 which has fixed sweats. I've gotten 8 tires in my E90.
With the rear seat bottom out, you can get 6 tires in the back seat. Just takes a little sweat and some curse words.

not very the bottom just pops out the backing needs to be taken apart in the center at the bottom where they fasten together.

I got the tires mounted and balanced today and everything fits fine in the back seat. Well, I guess that depends on your definition of "fine". Off to Lime Rock in the a.m.

Do you know if removal is as easy in the E92? I tried lifting on the front part of the seat bottom and it didn't feel like it was going to move. I didn't want to force it so I didn't go any further.

Yeah, there are 2 clips, each approximately where between-legs are. Just grab the bottom of the front edge of the seat and pull up.
