Shop wont mount wheels.
I purchased some GS F Sport wheels off a new GS350. Tire shop told me they refuse to mount because it might mess with the transfer case.
Sizes:
Front Wheels: Rear Wheels:
- Size: 19x8 - Size: 19x9
- Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 - Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
- Offset: 45 - Offset: 60
- Hub Center Bore: 60.1 - Hub Center Bore: 60.1
- Finish: Anthracite - Finish: Anthracite
- Center Caps: Anthracite - Center Caps: Anthracite
Front Tires: Rear Tires:
- Size: 235/40-19 - Size: 265/35-19
- Brand: Bridgestone Potenza - Brand: Bridgestone Potenza
- Model: RE050A - Model: RE050A
- Load Index: 96 - Load Index: 94
- Speed Index: Y - Speed Index: Y
Should I return the wheels or try another shop? I did read the other threads about staggered setups, but couldn't really find a good answer.
Edit: Got the RCA blocks installed and wheels mounted. Looks much better.

Buy the tools, put them on yourself, and save the money.
Floor jack - $50
Torque wrench - $30
21mm socket (make sure to get a 6 point rather than a 12 point to decreas the chance of stripping) - $5
And just torque them down to 80 or so lbs.

Done & done. First place was a PITA. Sears did it.
Would've done everything myself by I don't have a workspace since moving into a downtown apartment.
I had the 30mm front and rear RCA blocks done right away as well. Car looks much better now! Pictures coming soon, my iPhone wont let me upload them.
