How to properly load four 18x10.5j wheels on E92?

Never thought it would be this troublesome as I never had problem loading four wheels on E36 lol. (that being said it was 17 inch) Big ass wheels are such a pain..

I noticed that tires would either touch the interior panel or push against it to the point of distortion. If I put one wheel in the trunk and 2 wheels on the back seat (seat folded), the remaining one wheel would move around the top as I need to go with a passenger.

Do I really need to tie two wheels and put some futon around the interior to get this done?

Four across the backseat. Put a blanket down if you're worked about scuffs.

Stupid 10.5j wheels are so hard to push through the front passenger seat.

Maybe I should explore running stock 19 inch wheels on F 255 R 275 and call it a day..

i put 275's across my back seat all day long with my 10.5's. you might have to put them up on the thigh bolsters of the seats and hold the wheel in place as you place the others.
if you put two and gauge if they end right at the middle of the seat. if they do, you can fit two more. if your tires are a little bit over halfway past the seat center, start over, you won't have room.

For track days, I place one in the trunk. Three on the rear seats with them folded down. The three are in a pyramid shape to maintain rear view mirror visibility. One sitting horizontally, two sitting diagonally. Like an Eiffel Tower.

These are with 18x10 275 square, works with my street 18x9.5 & 18x10.5 as well.
