Where stretches tires???

I went across to the local tire place and they said they can't do it, so I had to settle for 225s

I have 8.5Js and wanna fit 205s next time

Any body???

They went to do it and they had no idea how to get them to fit lol so I suggested brake fluid and a lighter...didn't go down to well lol

Where would have a bead blaster?

if you get em to mount the tyre, stretching it can be done yourself at home.
loads of videos online of how to do it but i used a can of deoderant and a stick with a rag on it to light it. and it worked perfectly.

See the problem with that is I have no spares so needed them to do them there, might try it next time though

iv 185s on a 10 and a 9.5 and 9 and 8.5 no problems you dont realy need a bead blaster but it helps some of the time.

any place that specialises is wheels and tyres. eastcoast alloys in ardee have a few young guys that are into the dub stuff.1 guy in paticular is extremely helpful,understanding and careful!!!

Off topic I know, but apart from looking cool, what is the benefit (if any) in stretched tyres?

Looks good, but allows a bigger wheel, and the car to be lower because the tyre wall is angled, so allows more clearence

I dont understand why its so difficult??
