tire stretching help?
got some 17x10 rims and trying to put a 245/45/17 on them. i got 1 of the them to do it but cant get the other 1. any help? took it to a few shops and even with the cheetah cant get it to fit. i didnt even think that it was that much of a stretch.

that my set up. 245r 215f on a 17x10.
You dont need a cheata to do this. You just need someone that has done a few of them before. A 245 shouldnt need anything to mount them. If you are having problems you can bring it by my me. I done a few.
What I do:
1. set lower bead
2. take off shader valve and attach constant very low psi air.
3. get starter fluid on the upper bead. Make sure its all around
4. spray a little more starting fuild in the rim.
5. Use a long lighter.
AND BOOM. The tire should seat on rim.
PS> DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK>>>>>IM NOT LIABLE IF YOU BLOW YOURSELF UPOR DAMAGE ANY PROPERTY>>>
Not to spoil your fun or whatever, but I think the tires are trying to tell you something. I think the words "retarded" and "fad" are in there somewhere.
