Transporting 4 Wheels in S2000 - Can It Be Done?
A friend of mine was doing club level competition in a Triumph TR6, & had a similar problem.
He could fit one almost deflated in the trunk, fitted a light tow bar, & a cyclical carrying fitting that slid into the towbar, modified to carry 2 wheels & tyres. The last strapped down on the trunk lid & the tyres on the rack. He said the steering was very light with that weight out back, but OK for sensible driving.
This worked for a couple of years before he could afford a trailer & tow car.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one for a similar question.
Alright, So I have two tires (255) and I need to go drive about 15 miles to pick up my wheels (17x9). After picking up my wheels I will be driving another 10 miles to a shop where I will purchase two more tires and get them all mounted and installed. From here, I will drive home with the 4 stock wheels and tires.
I am not worried about the two tire haul, and I am not worried about the 4 stock haul back home. I am concerned about the 2 tire + 4 wheel haul for 10 miles to my tire shop.
Does anybody see this as a posibility?

A lot of the examples given are using stock size tires and wheels or maybe slightly larger (225/255), but if you have a squared setup or aftermarket wheels/tires it becomes a little more challenging. Here is how I did my square 17x9 wheels with 255/40/17 bridgestone re11's:
