truth. I know me and j4k3 mounted some tires on a guys CCW's...I think they were 335/40/18 on a 14inch rim. No damage to the wheels, jake still works at Merchants on Battlefield in Chesapeake if you wanna give him a call. I think it's like $20 a rim.

Also mounted all of wishihadasilvia's tires there.

Eh... that's always been with road force balancing, at least for me.

I can even seat the bead if I have to. Width of the rim should play no part on actually getting the tire on the wheel. I would do it myself at work but our machine just isn't capable of doing it.

Yeah, I don't mount tires too often so I don't know the tricks of doing them too well. I work in the parts department and just don't use the machine enough. The guys in my shop don't want to touch them though. haha
