Default Tire stretching

does anyone know of a local place that could mount my wheels without damaging them? The tires will need to be stretched.i have called 3 tire kingdoms, and a few other random tire places but no one can mount them or even know what i mean by stretching a tire.im trinh to stay local (tampa town and country area).

I just take them to a place and have them put them on. Dont say anything unless they do.

it shouldnt really be that hard to mount a 205 on a 9 inch wheel..back in the day i was stretching tires for the people in the 240 community when i worked at a TK.

just like he said above me..dont say anything..just have them mounted...and if there is damage to em when you get em back...say something to them...but odds are most places are legit and wont fuck your shit up

Any place that does semi-truck tires will have a cheetah and will have no issues in mounting those tires, if they even need to use a cheetah for 205's.

call justin he can usually get items in within about 24 hours.
