Though I would start this one up so we can all talk about all that in here and ask question and leave the other 2 threads for as close as possible pics as they are designed to be for.

lets talk :)
 
God dammit. Finding a shop to mount 225/35/19s on my 19x10s is ridiculously hard! I'm now utilizing the "friend line" as opposed to calling shops because they all think I am nuts.
 
yeah i kinda got that a lil with the 17x9.5 on the 205/40 idk y lol
 
At least 40 sidewall on a 17 gives more stretch. The falken 452s I want in 225/35/19 are rated to a width of 9".

Damn! I guess it just depends on the shop. Place up here mounted my friend's 215/45 on 17x10's no problem
 
Sidewall size comes into play but I didn't expect to have this much difficulty either. Stretching a tire rated up to 9" wide onto a 10" wide wheel shouldn't cause this much trouble. I already exhausted my normal tire shops but they are chains with reputations to uphold. Gonna have to find a little guy who will do it.
 
How about 205/40s on a 10. I thought about it, untill I realize how quickly ill crack a wheel again. Especially with the roads here in Sac

If you take a drive to Woodbridge I can find yu a spot
 
I found a local guy who will do them for $60 mounted and balanced.
 
I normaly just got to America's tire co they do them no problem and 60 mounted and balanced is good I got mine don for 80 can't wait to see the wheels on ur car man
 
I am excited to see them on as well. Still waiting on BC unfortunately. Can't fit the fronts without camber plates... Actually pretty tempted to just get their regular length front struts if it means i can have the setup now. I won't be lowering the front more than an inch from where it is now anyway.

Hard to believe ATC stretched your 215's on to the 9.75's... they wouldn't even touch my car with 5mm spacers on the front to fix a punctured tire under warranty....
 
^ That's ridiculous. I can understand why they refuse to work on cars with crazy camber and stretched tires but a small spacer like 5mm barely does anything let alone hurt the tire.
 
Yeah they totally turned me away. They said I could just bring back the wheel if I wanted. I told them I would go home, take off the spacers, torque down the wheels, and come back so their lazy asses can pull the wheel.
 
walmart did this for me :p
