Default G wagon?

anyone has one? if so, any idea if a set of GT3 track wheels/tires will fit in the back without folding down the rear seats?

Very torn

2005 g500
2009 cayenne GTS

Towing, looking cool, driving to Tahoe, adding cool aftermarket gear to make people think I offroad are my goals in that order

careful though mate... we're talking 18s, 19s... Kids today with their 21 inch rears on incoming gt3rs' are gonna be able to do only 4-5 at most!

I have both. I would never use the g for towing. It's short and it uses gas like a boat. My cayenne is the perfect DD. I ended up switching to the diesel (from a turbo S) and love the 700 ,mile range on road trips and over 500 normally.

18 or 19 mounted. 21" wheels mounted are about same overall size as 18 or 19 other than the section width. To clarify, I can fit 4x 245 on 18x9 rims and 4x 335 on 18x12 rims.
