...you can fit a pair of 19x11 wheels in the back seat and stick a pair of 19x9 wheels on the front passenger seat and footwell.

I love this car!

Are you using your 991 to deliver wheels?

Obviously to take wheels to the track. I did that in my e46 M3. Threw a vinyl tablecloth on the seats and never had any damage or stains.

Yep--I have a wheel delivery business, and therefore can write off the car for tax purposes. (Not really, IRS, I know you're watching and targeting...)

Love that pic! I was taking my new Forgelines to my local shop for mounting. I had Tire Rack send new Yokos straight to the shop.

This was just the wheels with no tires mounted. It will be interesting to see if it works with tires on the wheels. I hadn't planned on it, though, so I'm trying the new Yoko AD08R as a combo track/daily driver tire.

I did what you did with my E90 M3 that I just turned in at end of lease. What a great car--daily driver, kid hauler, grocery getter, Home Depot runner, and track beast. I would arrive in the paddock and pull out a set of R comps, two jacks, a bin full of tools, two chairs and a tent. The Corvette guys would look at me like I was nuts. Looking forward to the 991 on track, though--it should be a whole new level!

Please, please tell me you took a picture. Were the wheels in the back standing?

Arggghh! Forgot to take a pic! 19x11's were standing transverse, with wheel faces facing toward front of the car, one wheel per rear bucket seat. One 19x9 was standing in same orientation, but in front passenger seat, while other 19x9 slotted nicely in the passenger footwell between the seat and glovebox.

Oh, and today I managed to get three bags of groceries, my daughter's backpack, three bags of arts 'n' crafts from Michael's, my work shoes and my briefcase all in the front trunk. Awesome!

I thought so! I saw your posts on other threads stating it had been about 6 to 8 months since you drove it last, which is why I asked.
