Default Can I fit 5 33's in inside my xj?

Stupid question I know, but will I be able to fit five 33x12.5x15 tires inside the passenger area of my xj with the seat down? I mean I would think it would be fine, but before I go buy these from someone on craigslist I figured I would get someones opinion.

3 right behind the front seats. as in, if you opened the back doors you looked thru the middle of the tires. And the last two going side to side in the cargo area. The thing sagged like grannys ti**s tho til it was unloaded
