Default Can 4 stock tires fit in back of 2-dr JK?

I will be driving by the Tire Rack place in South Bend next week, and can pick up tires to avoid the shipping charge. Question first: Can I fit 4 or 5 stock-size tires in the back of the 2-door JK (with the seat removed)?

(Thinking about the Duratrac 255/75/17, which are a lot lower cost vs. the local dealers)

Thanks!

Yes if you remove the back seat.

Should fit just fine without the back seat. I once managed to cram 5- 40" MT/Rs in the back of my 4Dr

I got (5) 255/75/17s in my 2 door when I bought them. All in the back. Drove an hour home with them.

I was able to fit (4) 35/12.5/17s in as well. Three in the back and one in the passenger seat.

All this without the rear bench obviously.

one trick is leave your spare at home so you only need to get 3 in the back.

Been there, done that. One on the spare. Yup! Scoopy Snacks will vouch for that!
