Buy the correct size tire for those wheels. Stretching a tire is dangerous. F.Y.I., the tire is stretched when it is seated on the rim, not before hand.

Hes asking a question guys. No need to voice your opinion on OPs topic.

Hes abviously asking if anyone knows a good tire shop who will put the tires on the rims he has and he stated "streatched" because if its a tight fit most shops ( Firestone/Tires Plus/ Ect... ) Wont do it.

Good luck OP and post pics once your done!

A good shop won't do it because they know better. Let us know where you get it done, so that shop can be crossed off the list of places where people should get work done.

so do you want them installed or do you actually want them to stretch your tires for you ?

take the dick out your ass, just cause a shop will install a stretched tire...So what you think all these people into fitment n shit just snap there fingers & there tires appear on there rims..i don't think so.
Most shops wont do it cause if they scratch or ruin your wheels they don't wanna be held responsible for the damages.

i dont think 215's will stretch on a 9 inch rim. they will almost be flush, if not too beefy. you should have gone with a 195, or a 205.
