    Tire stretching places in Bellingham?

    I'm buying a set of 215/40/16 Falken 452 from Discount Tire in Bellingham but I am not sure I want to let them mount them to the 16x9 wheels I'm getting as I'm scared they might damage the wheels.

    If anyone has any suggestions of a place to go to, or if Discount Tire can do the job please let me know.

      I have them do all my business, and always have and will. They are great guys, and take good care to do what you want. just talk to Ricky, or jackson. Avoid the dink in the cowboy boots with the mustache he's a fuck tard.

          Well I don't want to get your hopes up.

          I have gone to them many times in the past but never for stretched tires.

          I'll call them Monday and ask either of those two about what I want done.

              I wouldn't be too worried. What are you afraid of getting damaged?

                That is a big stretch, I had those same exact tires on 8" wheels and there was some stretch.

                  Well Larry B. is the name I got on the email from them... he's the Senior Assistant Manager.

                  Nice title eh?

                  I have heard of stories of these shops damaging the wheel lips during tire install.

                  Well that is the suggested size for the 16x9 wheel, the other option was 205/45/16

                  I have 225/45/16 and they would fit better on the wheel but I don't think I can get them onto the car without rubbing.

                    That's why we have fender flares. Do it, for serious.

                      I think I'll skip fender flares for my vert since others have run the 215/40/16 setup without issue.

                        Then do it yourself if you have balls.
                        That's starter fluid by the way.
