Default Picking up 4 "track pack/brembo" wheels with tires... will they fit?

Im picking up 4 takeoff Trackpack/Brembo package wheels and tires in the next months.

My question.. I will have to take my car to pick them up.

Can I fit all 4 in my car?

I figured I can maybe fit one in the spare tire area, then fold down the back seats to cram the other 3 in the back.

Has anyone else tried to squeeze 4 19x9 wheels with tires in their 2011 + stang?

Figured it would be good to ask before I picked them up

You may have to pull the pass seat full forward and lean it fwd to use that space. I don't think one will fit in the spare well. I once carried four 18" wheels in the boxes, they fit- but with tires mounted, I don't think it will go.

My buddy had his snow tires removed and discount tire barely made all 4 tires fit in his car (keep in mind these were the 17" rim tires). They had to lower the rear seat (obviously) and they had to push the front seats forward. Tight fit, but it was doable with those rim size tires (I think they were 225 width?), sorry if that's not helpful but the only experience I've had with it lol.

That is helpful. Thanks!

Im figuring I can get three in the trunk with the seats down and one in the passenger area up front. Will be tight.. but ive fit some crazy stuff in here (HD TV, Battery powered mustang, 2x4s...).

I can get all of my track wheels and tires in my car - of course the front runners are skinnies so that helps but the convertible trunk is small. I can get one of the rear tires and a front runner in the trunk - on my 2006 convertible I could get both rear tires in the trunk but for some reason can't do it on the 2013.

I had to transport 4 full size tires over to the shop when Nitto sent me the Motivo to test for them last year. I was able to get two in the trunk and two in the interior though.

I took a 1000+ mile road trip before I had sold my stock wheels and tires and I decided to put one in the spare hole just in case. It fit but was very tight and when the trunk floor panel was lowered it raised the floor a few inches. Seems like the hardest part was getting it back out because it was a tight squeeze in the first place and it settled more during the trip.
