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....

I would never let them lift my ever they don't now how to jack up the car right always just brin in wheels to a tire shop never have them touch the cars my buddy work there and tell me how they **** up cars cause they don't know how to jack the s*** up right

^this

if you bring just the wheels and tires in almost every place will do it and then you dont have to worry about it.
the guy at walmart mounted my tires like a pro but talked to me when i paid and was like "do you know those tires dont fit right?".... seriously have you never seen a streched tire????
but in all reality he had never seen something he was able to do with ease because there wasnt the "application"(vehicle) involved

I usually cut right to the chase with tire places and give them the exact size I want before they can even ask me what vehicle it goes on. You would think it makes their job easier but I usually have to explain it to them anyway.

I had 2 different people today try to tell me 19s don't fit on a mazda3....

 

[Chefsp0t]

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.

I would have seriously considered pulling them in their parking lot.

Oh I would have, but I had to go to work.

that's because 8" is within the safe mounting width for a 205/40... they shouldn't have a problem with it lol

My local Pep Boys actually has a cheetah and has no problem stretching. There's a pretty dominant Dub scene here so it's nothing new to them lol. Tires Plus right by my house does mine for like $20 cash under the table lmao. But it's a hell of a time getting into their parking lot.

This annoys the hell out of me. I'll email a wheel warehouse asking them for specs on a wheel. Usually goes something like this: "Thanks for your interest, what car are these for?" "MS6." "Those don't fit your car. You can't run 19s or 9" wide wheels." "I'm running 19x9.5 +25 right now." "There's no way." "**** you, you idiot."

Tirerack was the only company to acknowledge that it could be done but not without modifications. Then applauded the work to get them to fit. Didn't agree with the stretching/camber etc., but acknowledged it could be done. Then said he wanted me to submit pics when I buy my 17x9 RPF1s with 255/40 and get them installed lol.

$128 here to mount 205/40

 

[Protege03ak46]

Jesus tits that's overpriced. Walmart will do 45 for mount, balance and new stems.

 

[Chefsp0t]

I changed my tire order to Federal ss595 in 215/35/19 and 225/35/19. Their stretch is a little prettier than the falkens. Paid $509 shipped for all 4 tires. I'm happy.

[Chefsp0t]
