no flaming please, I checked the FAQ...

My freind has a s13 hatch which he manages to shove four rims with mounted tires in for autocross.

Can I fit the same in a coupe? Is there enough space?

Thanks!

I think you can fit 15's in there and the back seat.

For more room, you can:
1. Take out your spare and trunk carpet.
2. Take out your rear seats.
3. Take out your front passenger seat.

Yeah, uhmmm coupe have like NO room, but maybe if you put some in the pass. front seat, the back seats and one in the trunk....you might pull it off, the room in a FB I miss, but as for the kick ass looks of a coupe, I wouldn't trade for all the space in the world! Coupes are the sexxxx and no one can tell me different! haha!:p

crap, there's no room in the coupes? i thougt my FB was cramped. i don't see how you could fit a set of wheels and tires in there without using the front seat.

In my hatch I fit 6 wheels (15s w/ tires) tool box, full size floor jack, 2 foldable seats, large cooler (about 25"x15"), 4 quarts oil, gallon coolant, gallon of distilled water, my girlfriend and I.

I have done this twice now for track days and it works fine. Hampers MPG, but I dont care its not like im gonna be conservativ on track. Oh, and my car is completely gutted except center console, dash and front two seats. Hatch has A LOT of room.:)

the hatchback is great for space. I can fit 17's in the rear with the rear passenger seats down. I can also fit a whole 91-94 front end with the rear passenger seat down. which consists of a bumper and two fenders. yea yea

THE COUPE'S TRUNK SPACE IS SAD

there lol that just about sums it up

I fit 4 15 inch wheels in my coupe. I had two in the trunk and two in the backseat. I dont think you can lay them down in the backseat though but I forget it was awhile ago.

Also wingsnthangs I'm not too sure but for autocross in the coupe aren't you not allowed to remove your backseat (the backrest part) because you need something seperating the trunk from the rest of the car for some reason like the seat or a piece of plexiglass or something. The fastback it doesnt matter I dont think right

you can easily fit 4 or more (if willing to use the front passenger seat) wheels with tires in the coupe..i regularly put 2 spares in my trunk with tool boxes, jacks, stands, misc tape, hoses, etc before events..back seat for luggage and food..

then i guess my dead bodies will fit nicely as well, thanks for the info. :D

is the difference between the fastback and coupe really that big? with both of the rear seats down i mean. i would think they would be similar, with the hatch having a small advantage

Yeah there is a big difference in space. For the FB, you can put the seats down and you have the entire space to use. In my coupe, I put the seats down and I still am hampered by a mold that is rounded off. Here's a pic, you can see the border that's put around the space between the trunk and the seats.

I could fit 2 wheels in the trunk w/ the other 2 in the rear seats, btw. :D

Ya know the S13 coupes have it better than the S14 coupes...the S14's have the gas tank and a smaller opening in em....it blows.
