Default Collecting Wheels in an Impreza

Has any one ever collected a set of wheels in their Impreza?

Im after a set & have no other vehicle at hand to get them in, Don't want to drive to Fleetwood & then find out they wont fit in the car

I've done it in a classic, two in the back seat, (take an old sheet or something to wrap them in), and two in the boot.

That's what I was thinking but really wanted to confirm it first,

Scoobyspares is 57 miles from me & didn't really fancy wasting the fuel there & back.

Saying that I can hire a small VW Caddy van for the day for £25 & just need to put the fuel I use back in

I've done it in two newage's. One with no back seats but with a cage in and I got two in the rear, one in the boot and the other on the passenger seat.

The other car that had rear seats, I can't remember exactly how but I did do it. I'm sure I couldn't get two in the boot though

Will probably cost the same in fuel in the Impreza as it would hiring the van & putting fuel in that

Surely it'll only cost about £30 in your Impreza, minus all the messing about getting to the van and then dropping it off again. Then the fact that you'll enjoy driving your car

I've had four 8" wide rims with 235's on the back seat of my bugeye, as Alcazar said, wrap in a sheet or poly to avoid muck on the seats.

Without tyres they should all fit in the boot.
I recently had four 18x9.5 wheels in the back of my hawk.
