    I say yes, with some careful placement. Or just pull the back seats out for the trip. Four bolts and its free.

    That CAN BE easier said than done.

    I guess if you don't have a basic socket set, then yeah, but imo, everyone should own a basic socket set.

    My VX was shipped with 4 stock rims/tires + the spare + back seat stuffed in the back. IIRC the back seat was not mounted but I think it'll fit if you just fold & tumble it.

    I don't know about you guys, but if I fold the rear seat forward I can barely fit behind the wheel. The driver's seat just won't go back far enough. Pretty frustrating for short drives, a long one (drive) would really suck.
    That said, you should be able to lay the seats down flat and stack a couple wheels/tires on top, perhaps on a blanket to protect the seats from damage. Then put another behind the seat and another in the passenger seat. Surely they'll go...

    When I put new rims and tires on mine, I couldn't get the 18" stock rims with 265/60R18s in the back. I had to put one in the front seat.

    With your 16's you might be able to lay them down and stack them two high. The 18s wouldn't fit that way.

    Not all of us are knuckle draggers so it's not usually a problem
