Default rims with tires

Hey guys, I did a quick search on this already but i couldn't find anything regarding this.

I was thinking of getting some stock ap1 rims with tires already on them. My question is, will all 4 wheels be able to fit in my S?

It is possible, but not easy. One rear fits in the trunk (you have to move the styrofoam jack holder thingie), other rear and one front side-by-side in the passenger seat, the other front on top of those two.

I've taken race wheels/tires to the track like this. Not exactly ideal, though...

I've done it plenty of times. If you're going top down you can fit anything. The way I did it was to get those ratcheting straps and make sure everything is strapped down (I usually strap the top tire to the 2 bottom tires and strap everything to the roll hoop). Might also be easier if you remove the passenger seat. Of course easiest method is to borrow someone else's car.
