Can you really fit four tires inside a Mustang? (for track days)

Stock GT 350 with rear seat in: No Problem bringing 315/ 780-R19 slicks ( or 305's ) and Jack, tools, spares, 2 folding chairs, other gear.I have gone with one in the trunk w/all other stuff, two in rear seat area, one on passenger front seat. I have done it hillbilly style with old bedsheets/bungee cords to cover track wheelset on the way to & from, but the wheelcovers are a way better idea. Three in back set is a smart idea, as restricted visibility with a 19" projectile in the front seat. Plastic bags another good idea, but once I was too exausted to be careful packing up, plastic shredded, and I scratched the aluminum passenger front dash panel with gravel that was stuck on my track tires. Adds character. Wrestling all this in and out, and humping wheels trackside isn't fun for my middle-aged back and toothpick guns, but I don't have a pickup, trailer, or fan-club/bro. It's worth the hassle to bring/run slicks (when I have them).

11-14 car. I can fit 4x 315/30/18 on 18x10.5 wheels. With the 4pt Watson half cage. You have to pull the passenger seat to fit two there. Then stack two in the trunk, but to fit them you have to remove the trunk latch first.. Then re-attach the trunk latch after they're in. Trunk latch is 2x 8mm bolts
