I will probably be picking up my Type R in the winter time, so I plan on buying some 18" wheels and all season tires and having them shipped to the dealer who will install them.
So I will have to put the OE wheels/tires mounted in the back hatch area to transport them home, will they fit???

I fit 4 19s in the back with tires so I would assume that yes, after putting the seat down, you would be able to put 20s in the back as well. I would advise making sure the dealer puts a plastic liner in the back to avoid rubbing rubber on your interior panels, but that's it.

Yes, they will fit with the rear seat down, no problem. I've done it. Second the recommendation to put something down underneath, but there's plenty of room.

I’ve also done it; requires the seat to be down to fit the 4th wheel.

Thanks gents for the reply.
Will definitely put something down to protect the interior.
I forgot just how huge the boot is with the seats folded down.
You could probably sleep in it.

Another solution is to put each wheel in a garbage bag.
