No trunk space? Pfft, the RX-8 has PLENTY of space!

No trunk space? Pfft, the RX-8 has PLENTY of space!
The wheels I had with my snow tires mounted on them for my last car (Honda Civic Si) did not fit the RX-8, so I had to buy another set of wheels. Once I got them I somehow had to get all of the wheels to a shop a few miles away. No one was home to help me and the friends weren't picking up their phones so I took measures into my own hands.
What you're about to see is 8 wheels and 4 tires all in my RX-8. It was a bit of a pain to get them in there, but I used any and all sheets/towels/my own coat I could find in the garage so that the wheels wouldn't damage my seats or any other part of the interior.
Pardon the quality but they're cell phone pictures:
The Si wheels (with tires mounted) are wrapped in blankets so they wouldn't damage anything. Yes I know those are cute sheets.
After all was said and done, the back of my car was lowered a good inch and a half to 2 inches. Needless to say it looked pretty sexy and makes me want to buy some lowering springs for it!

nice work man! one time I bought a 3-step folding ladder and thank goodness the panel in the center of the rear seat was removeable... I was able to transport this sucker home:

I have to credit the people that designed the ladder, too. They made it foldable into a telescope shaped tube! Simply amazing.

What size were those wheels you put in? I tried to fit 4 OEM 18" rims, and 4 18" snow tires separately (taking them to shop to mount), and I couldn't do it! I can't even get more than one 18" tire into the trunk
