Save me the trouble of trying to solve the puzzle. Can I fit four track tires in the Pcar or not? If so, what's the trick?

With a full cage, I have put 4 fikse FM10's with 275's on all four inside the car. It took the two rear 10 inch wheels in the rear hatch, and the two 9's in the front passenger seat. It was tight, it sucked ***, but the trailer I was pulling them on munched a hub in the middle of nowhere Georgia while on the way back from Road Atlanta. It was midnight, I was tired so I shoved them in the car and abandoned the aluminum custom trailer. Smaller wheels would obviously work better, but it can be done even with big wide fatties...

I squeezed 2 245/8x18's and 2 285/10x18's in the 951, a 10 rode in the pass seat.

I have had mine in the car but I was going to say it depends on the size of course. It is tight for sure and I wouldn't have believed it could be done with a cage.
Well done bill!

2 in the hatch, 1 in the backset, and 1 in the front pass seat. With a Redline rollbar I could fit 4 wheels - 255x17 and 275x17.

you guys gotta be a bit more creative:
Redline "roll bar"
4x 225's
2x "carry-on size" suitcases
2x folding chairs
1x 5gal air tank
1x 2gal cooler
1x floor jack

+ 1 passenger & a bunch of other stuff (oil, tools, etc).

The fest will be interesting though, as it'll be all that plus a tent and a few parts to sell/pick up.

I can fit a full second set of wheels and tires. The problem I have is then I can not take all the other stuff with me that I want. I am considering a rof rack with a basket.

For the track this weekend I am not going to bring the second set of wheels and chance it. I want my tent, chairs, grill, cooler, tools, jack, jack stands, and other stuff more.

You can fit 4 moderate sized track tires and all of that stuff TMS951. With the track tires with you, you do not need a spare, so in the spare well goes the jack stands and jack. In the rear seat area you can fit a lot, even with a full cage. Then there is the front seat. I can get my 4 275's plus jack and stands and cooler and weekends clothes and tools, plus helmet etc in my car. I trailer the car now, but once upon a time I was a drive it to the track type guy. Worse comes to worse, get a small tow behind for your wheels...but it isn't really necessary if you don't mind cramming in.
