Default Will Sahara 18"s fit INside a 2 door JK?

I've got dibs on 5 stock Sahara 18's and tires to upgrade my X with, but I have to go get them with my 2 door JK. If I take out the back seat will 4 of them fit inside? I'd put the 5th on the spare tire rack. Thanks!

Make them fit. I can easily fit 4 wheels with tires in my GTI...they are only 16x7, but its a smaller car too. Go for it!

I had 4 wheels and 265/75 R16 tires (around 32") in the back of my 2 door. They will definately fit with the seat removed. 5 won't fit in the back. Bring some stuff to stick under them (chock blocks if you have them, you have to stand them up and put them in a column of 4 to make them fit.

if you have the tow package, go to uhaul and rent the trailer thing for $20. Put them in there. and you wont have to worry and you can get them with the top down. This is what I planned on doing to get my wheels from a guy in long island, then my brother mentioned he was driving through there anyways so he put them in the bed of his 1500 pick up and I didn't even leave the house
