I have an 11" Schmidt Cassegrain CPC telescope with similar dimensions that will fit easily into my CR-Z. However, in order to protect this fragile instrument from getting jarred, it must be packed in foam or a similar energy absorbing medium. This will add several inches to the overall dimension.
Removing the spare tire will probably be your only option.
Only a truly devoted astronomer would partially dismantle his CR-Z for the cause.
Good luck!
