245/45/17 kumho tires, 205/40/17 nexen tires and 17x9 cobra wheels
 
I have a pair of pretty nice nexen 3000 tires that come on some wheels but I wanted matching tires so I saved these for some spares but I no longer have any wheels for them to go on... The center of the tires measures 8/32 but tapers off a bit as you get closer to the edges of the tire. $60 for BOTH

I have a pair of kumho 245/45/17 tires that measure around 7/32 and have just been storing them in my garage for a few years just in case I had an issue with some of my current tires on my mustang but I am getting rid of some stuff. $100 for both

I also have a pair of 17x9 cobra r rims, they had very little use on them, one was curbed and I got a good deal on another pair so I replaced both front rims. very very very minor pitting (probably not even worth noting) on the front and some more pitting on the back/inside of the wheel. $100 for both. I dont have center caps.

I also have no way of mounting/balancing.... I am located in weeki wachee/spring hill call/text 727-366-5160

Actually, dismounting tires is difficult, mounting them is not. Get some old carpet, place it on the garage floor, soap up the tire and you can usually force the bead over the front side of the wheel pretty easily. To get the other bead is tougher, kneel on the bead after pushing it over the wheel edge, then using some "tire irons" (basically large pry bars or screwdrivers without sharp edges, some are made of nylon) work your way around the wheel rim. The most critical is the last few inches, you don't want to damage the tire bead. this is where a buddy or wife come sin handy, kneeling on the seated side of the tire while you carefully work the tire over the rim.

In case it ever comes up again...;)

haha I have tire irons and have good success with 14 and 15 in tires... 17 inch tires didnt go so well lol I was doing it by myself though. I know some people at tire shops so I can separate the one or mount the other for free.

Oh yeah, those 17 and 18s with 35 series tires take some "real understanding"
