Adam, I loaded four wheels/tires in the rear of the RS. Floor jack, jack stands, tools, a cooler in the trunk. Helmet and other miscellaneous on the passenger seat. The BBS Mag wheels are narrower, so are the tires (240mm/270mm).
For the wider 9"/12" I have with A6 tires (even faster than the Michelin Cup tires), I have to use the passenger seat for a rear tire, two front tires behind the driver's seat and one rear tire behind the passenger's seat, helmet on the passenger's foot well.
My fastest autoX lap was a 39.5, but I only did 4 laps and left a little bit frustrated, as the course was too slow, autocrosses are 2nd gear courses not 1st gear courses. There is no much that can be done at such small lot, they tried the best course setup within the available space.
Next Sunday there is a real autocross (2nd/3rd gear) at El Toro Airport with PCA. Their events are closer to a short track event than an autocross, but it's the perfect venue to drive at 10th/10th or beyond.
Here are two videos from my last event at El Toro Airport in Irvine, CA with PCA

How do u not get the car dirty :-)
Only thing that rides in my car is a pretty girl
The auto-X sounds great... my shedule a little hectic till next year, but I would love to make it.
I'll try to talk some of my buddies into it.

You don't need a Jack to change sway bar settings. Just drive up on 2x10's and have at it. I could do my 996GT3 without the blocks but it wasn't lowered.
