Transporting (5) 315/70r17 in Bronco

[rugbyback]

Could not find an answer searching so thought I would ask in the forum.
Picking up a Base 4 door next week and was looking to transport 5 new pre-mounted 315/70r17's tires/rims in the Bronco for mounting.
Just wondering if I have any shot in fitting all five in the Bronco in one trip. About 70 miles between tire location and mounting location.

Thanks in advance
Dave

This has come up before. They won't fit in a 2 door. Its een reported elsewhere that 4 - 35 wheels and tires will fit inside the 4 door and the fifth would have to go on the spare ire carrier with your original spare, obviously, removed.

5 will fit in a four door...although its a Tetris game to get them all to fit. I bid you good luck.

Could have sworn there's a picture somewhere on the forum of a Bronco filled with tires, though couldn't swear for certain they were 315's. Definitely doable. Hell, I fit 4 'vette wheels+tires in my '99 - but I'm one determined ahole sometimes.

Thanks for all the replies. Will brush up on my tetris skills prior to the journey.

You can get an idea in advance using your own spare and moving it around and visualizing it; even better if a friend or 2 can pitch in with theirs.

I was able to fit 285/70/17s

Yup but the extra 1.75 inch circumference on all tires takes a lot of room. 35s are a lot bigger

I was able to fit five 285/75R17s (33.86”) plus five 17x9 wheels in my 4 door

Forwards don’t have time for video games.

They would carry them if needed.

Yeah, I don't think you are looking at the right numbers there. A 1.75 inch increase in circumference is just over half a inch increase in diameter (d=c/ 𝝅 ) so barely noticeable. Since most folks are typically looking at the diameter (32", 33", 35", etc.) that's the more telling number. For every inch in diameter you are looking at ~3.14" (pi, again!) change in circumference; jumping from stock BL 33" to Sasquatch 35" would be ~6.3" in circumference (assuming true diameter values which we know isn't the case).
This is for everyone that said "I'll never use geometry once I'm out of school".

Mine were rims and tires...you might have a bit more flexibility with it just being the tires. But they will fit!

I was able to put 5 315/70R17 Falken Wildpeaks in my 4 Door when it was new back in April. It was a bit of a puzzle and I should have taken a picture.

LOL, well played. And as usual, us backs would be waiting for them to arrive.
