Default How many wheels and tires can you fit inside an S4...

I know it sounds like one of those "how do you get 10 Scotsmen into a Mini?" type jokes, but seriously...
Just wondering if I will be able to fit 4 stock wheels with tires inside the car when I go to get my winter wheels fitted or if I need to drive the Pathfinder to pick them up?
I was thinking I might get two in the trunk and two on the back seat (covered of course) - anyone care to confirm/deny?
I'd hate to pass up the opportunity to drive the S4 up Parley's Canyon (UT) to Park City to pick them up ;-)

Cheers,
Geoff.

4 fit fine, with the back seat folded down.

Default I fit 8 once...

But you can easily fit 4 with room for a passenger, air tank and tools.

Default Hey Sharon, where did you get those numbers?

They look very cool. Magnetic or stick on? Do they come off easily? I need some!

Thanks.

Default Numbers...

You can buy sheets of white magnetic material from any sign shop. Most shops will also sell adhesive vinyl that you or they will adhere to it. Then just print out your favorite numbers using font from your wordprocessor as a template and cut away.

You can also mailorder either vinyl or magnetic numbers (check the back of a magazine like Grassroots Motorsports).

Or make crude ones with duct tape like the Porsche guys.
