Will 5 tires fit in the back?
First post so please bare with me. I have a 2010 Jk and after months or reading this site I still do not know were I should post this question. I just pulled the trigger on 5 295/70R 17 Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted on Level 8 Trackers from Discount Tire Direct (great group of people) but because of some contractual obligations with a distibutor in Canada they cannot ship to me. These will be shipped to a Discount Tire Store so I can pick them up. Still a great deal but will these fit in the back of my 4 door? It is very difficult to visulize 5 tires in the back. Anybody tried this?
Thanks for your help,
Jeff

You bet. I change my tires before my top every year. Swap winter tires to mud tires (all 5 fit in the back of my 4 door with the seats down) and then swap the hard top for the soft top. I do it in that order so the tires don't flop, roll, or press against the soft windows or fabric. Don't want to risk stretching or scratching.
Hopefully next week!

Yes, but besides they will not hit against the back window. I had mine tied down with bungie cords and thought they were going to brake the back window when I made a turn. Had to pull into a Home Depot and rearrange them.

I picked up 5 rubi wheels/tires in my JKU. I second the experience with most breaking my back window. Lay them down and you can stack four of them two high. Another suggestion: remove your spare before you go and put one of your new wheels on there.
