Wheel/tire set in the back of the car?

Can a 16" inch wheel and tire set with 195/55R16 tires fit in the back of an R56 with the seats folded forward? I tend to think yes, but I seem to continuously forget exactly how small this car is. Would I need to stand them up vertically to get them all in?

I'd hate to buy them and find out I couldn't get them home.

+1 , 205-45R17 in the back also. And in a convertible too. Fit 18" 205 40 18 in the JCW Coupe, one wheel had to set up front.

195/55R16 gen1 set fit without much drama. Nice and secure and I could still see. Yee-ha.

I've fit a set of wheels and tires of similar size unmounted, so it should be easy mounted.
