4 tire and jack in an evo 9?

Looking to get an evo 9, curious if you can fit 4 275x17 wheel, car jack, cooler, helmet and a box o tool and a passenger in the front. I currently have an e46 M3 with folding rear seat and all that stuff fits ... barely.

I take all my stuff with me to races, which includes:
- 4 285/30-18 V710s mounted on 18X9.5 rims (2 in trunk and 2 in back seat)
- Large aluminum jack + 4 jack stands (all fit in trunk with 2 wheels/tires)
- 24"X8" tool box
- small hand tool box
- small compressor
- box with drill set (cordless drill, bits, and 2 batteries)
- racing shoes
- box full of spacers, wire mesh, clamps, and steel wool
- sometimes a rollerboard suitcase
- backpack with odds and ends
- helmet
- large magnets (numbers, class, sponsor stickers)

I like to use the passenger seat for some of this stuff, which makes it easy to spread out and fit everything, but I have gotten it all to fit without using the front passenger seat at all so that someone could ride. It's even easier if you remove the rear seat cushions.

Shouldn't be a problem. When going to events monthly or more, I regularly fit:

-4 17x9.5 wheels with tires
-1 jack
-2 jackstands
-big tool box
-air tank
-water sprayer bottle
-medium size cooler
-torque wrench
-tire iron
-fuel jug
- helmet
-big messenger bag stuffed full of crap
-DSLR camera in case
-random other crap
-sometimes TENT and a folding CHAIR

...all into my Evo, without using any of the front seat at all, and with room to spare in the backseat!

That's with the full back seat still in place and the trunk gutted, spare removed (8 wheels/tires is enough to cover a flat ).

True. Or come ask you "what do you have in that car, you passed me like I was standing still"

If your class allows it, remove the back seat and this car becomes a mini van in terms of cargo space.

I wish I had taken pictures of all the **** we loaded in the car on the way to the Devens NT this year.


Myself, the wife, 4 tires, tons of racing gear, overnight bags... more stuff for her than I could even realize. She even brought her laptop and spent 5 hours on the way up writing a report

It took us 25 minutes to unpack the car.

lol, just like everyone said I fit lotsa crap in my car... For what's you're looking to take with you to the track, you have enough room. You should be able to fit all the tools and tires + 2 naked hookers ( if they will be dressed, it might be too much)

If you're local to D.C., I've got a tire trailer and an Evo hitch for sale
