After mounting your new aftermarket wheels... can you fit 4 OEM wheels in your car? you CANT right? Than how did you guys bring back your OEM wheels back home? I hope this is clear

LOL, I had to read it twice.

You can probably put one in the trunk and three of them in the back seat. Just cover evrything up to protect the interior.
I once picked up my new 20" tires from the post office and had to put one in the back seat, and another in the passenger seat.

I hope your drive home is short.

If you can get a second car to come with you or get a friend with a truck or crossover, even an SUV. If you have to do it yourself with your G this way should work:

1. Remove everything in the trunk, including the spare which will give you a lot more room.
2. Place the 1st wheel in the space for the spare and place the 2nd wheel on top.
3. Put down the back seats and the other 2 should fit without a problem.

I think this would be the one time you should be glad you had the oem 18s instead of the 19s.

will the oem 19s fit into the spare and stack another on top of it? or is this only for the oem 18s?

i fit all 4 stock tires in my car with a small suitcase and a case of beer so you should be able to. just make sure you put something to protect the faces of the rims from rubbing.
