Can wheels fit inside G37 coupe?

Can't find a thread that answers my question.
Has anyone tried fitting 4 wheels (19") + tires inside their G37 Coupe?
I'm short of a second car so may have to do this when I get new wheels.
Thanks!

He is correct but if you get wheel covers you will be fine. I learned that the hard way

did it fine with one in the trunk and three lined up in the back seat in bags. definitely go with the bags, well worth the money.

also, i'm at 6'3" tall, not sure if anyone taller than me could pull this off. drivers seat was pretty tight and my head was nearly out the sunroof.

I've done 1 275/35/18 in the trunk, 4 275/35/18's in the back, and another 275/35/18 in the front seat. Didn't adjust seat positions at all. I'm sure I could've fit another pair in there somewhere, but that would require some tetris skills.

My headliner doesn't like me.

Oh, and I have the backing of my rear seat out (the one that folds down when you pull the little handle). Racercar mod, obviously.

Ive done it plenty of times, just make sure you put the wheels in plastic bags so they dont get you car dirty. ALSO...make sure the cup holder doesnt open while your seats are folded down, I recommend taping it shut, mine opened while I had wheels inthe back for two days, it'll leave a mark in your seats that wont come out.

Wow thanks, everybody!
I might go with the trashbag route XD
Just gotta be careful I guess.
Can we fit a wheel in the trunk?

Put one in the trunk, fold down the back seat, put two on top of the seat, and one in the front seat. If the wheels arent too wide, you might be able to fit the last wheel on top of the two on the back seat. Good luck!

Bring trash bags. 1 in the trunk, 2 in the back seats, Move the passenger front seat all the way up and put one on the floor somehow or put one on the front seat. Without trash bags or tire covers, you will dirty your car

Very possible, but as someone mentioned, you want to make sure your cupholder is closed and the seat buckles are pushed down into their openings. Failure to do so will result in marks in your leather seat backs. If you do have any marks on your seats, i suggest getting a soft cloth and rubbing the leather in a few directions, seems to even out the stretching and then it shrinks back in a few days.

I've fit 2x 275/35/19 + 2x 245/40/19 in the car. Definitely doable
