yea the one by my house wont touch anything about 17'' they told me. especially not 20s, their machines will dent and/or scratch the rims.

i would say go to those tire shops like just tires or w.e. they do it

mine will take up to 20s but only SUV sized tires (thicker aspect ratio )`

Don't go to just tires. I had my tires rotated and balanced, but when i drove out of there, the PSI in 3 of the 4 tires was over 60. What kind of tire shop would do that. I'll never go back.

Try Goodyear Tire Center in Tustin. 135 S Prospect Ave, Tustin, CA
(714) 731-0212. Those guys are always very professional and have never had any problems.

I go to Allen's Tires in Yorba Linda. They charge like $20 per wheel and have never scratched my 20's.
America's Tires scratched my 20's and I was watching them take my tire off and it wasn't pretty...the one in Fullerton on Harbor off the 91.

I go to Allen Tire in Santa Ana (Tustin and Santa Clara) they have the newest machines and are always careful. I've gotten almost every set of tires since I've been driving mounted there... from 13's to 20's.
