Trouble fitting four bikes into new garage

My previous Toy Hauler was a Weekend Warrior FS2600. It didn't have a garage space and the cargo loading area was smaller than the 12+" garage on my newer Elevation. However, the Weekend Warrior had better placement for the D Rings. The anchor points were in each of the corners and then more sets in the middle.

The D Rings in my Elevation's garage are grouped in the middle of the space. Instead of putting them at the front of the garage and at the back by the ramp, the six tie downs are two feet or so closer to the center on both ends, giving me a smaller cargo area. This isn't usually a problem for two dirt bikes when it's just my wife and I, but this weekend two of our kids are joining us and I need to fit in two more bikes. I could fit five bikes in my old WW, but I'm not sure how to fit four in this nicer Elevation.

I don't really want to install e-track since our kids don't ride with us much anymore. I suppose I could do it eventually, but I won't have time before Thanksgiving. For now I need to do my best with the factory anchors.

Any ideas?

If I put two in forwards and scoot their rear wheels out towards the walls, this will give me more side-to-side space to roll one in backwards, but I don't think I can fit one more in that way.

Thoughts?

Dave could you use a couple 8' 2x4s or a 4x4 to lay across the garage, then tie down in the center then use some eye bolts screwed in the boars near the ends for additional tie down points?
I did something similar in my toy hauler only I used a sheet of plywood with a bike chocks mounted to the plywood. I used the existing mounting points in order to not put anymore holes in the floor.

Edit:
I just re-read your post... are you talking about dirt-bike "bikes" with motors? If so, that's a totally different issue. I thought you were referring to bicycles.
