Does anyone know if I can fit two wheels and tires (315/30/18) in the back hatch of a C5 coupe and still close the hatch? Someone must have tried this before.

I got 295's in the back of a Z, I would think it has a chance.

Mounted or unmounted? Some flexibility in the sidewall may be key.

Try mounted.....but let all the air out so that you can crush them together.
