4 wheels in the car?

Quick question...

Can you fit 4 boxes of wheels inside the 07 cooper s hatch? I have a set of konig feathers coming in sometime next week and im planning on taking my 17inch bridge spokes back in the cooper... will it fit? My guess is that they will but i dont want to have to go back and forth since the wheel shop isnt THAT close to me. Anyway, Thanks!

yes but not in the boxes. i have fitted 4 18'' wheels in a 04 mcs . i wrapped them in blankets so i wouldnt damage my interior. a 07 mcs should have just a lil more room as well. oh and where did you get the konigs, feathers are nice im thinking of getting that wheel too. oh and we will need pics buddy, what color, the black ones on the alta mule looks pretty cool.

Probably not in the boxes, but 4 wheels stand up in the back seat nicely.

17" wheels will fit, 18" probably not enough width.
hmmm, wonder what's in those boxes?

Wow, impressive that you managed that one! Thankfully I'll only be riding with the wheels and they're 17's. Tires are being drop-shipped to an installer.

You should be able to with the rear seats folded down. I took home four 17x7 R99s, in their boxes, in the back of my '03.

Don't know about the 07 MINI, but my 06 will and has twice hauled 4 17x7.5 wheels in the boxes.

Just lay the back seats down and slide them in from the rear.

sweet sounds good. I ordered them through americas tire co, AKA discount tires. There was a delay due to the high demand, then again because they forgot the bore out the lug nut holes to the size i needed. They are black and i will post pix when i get them on!
