Local Tire Stretch?
 
Does anyone know of a good place in the area that will mount stretched tires? Preferably not too expensive and not assholes. I searched, couldn't find anything.

No, but I drive by there all the time. I should check it out.

On a related note, has anyone on here mounted stretched tires with the starter fluid method? I know its stupid and dangerous, but from every video I've seen, it works.

How stretched? I have a tire machine at work, but I dont want to talk myself into something I'll regret.

Not being an ass, but why not get tires that fit and provide extra grip?

There are many reason to stretch tires on wheels, I'm sure he has a valid reason. If he wanted tires "that fit" I'm sure he'd do that as well.

excuse me, but i see no valid points in putting an undersized tire on a wheel that requires XXX tread width

unless your out busting some el-drifto..

Best place is CARRS and I am pretty sure Audio One will mount a mild stretch. But I prefer Audio One if you have really high dollar wheels and are scared of damaging them.

But CARRS will mount a 245 on a 10 and a 255 on a 10.5
I think they charge like 100 for the set of 4
I have mounted many stretched rims @ carrs but trust all my nice shit to Audio One

If I am not mistaken CARRS has a cheater (injects pressurized air to set the bead)

Goodluck

This has been discussed and discussed on this forum to death
