thats a tough one. It usually takes some convincing for them to do the stretch.
but you will have to find a shop with one of the bigger tire mounting deals.
most of the tire shops have it. I went to a couple of places before i found a shop to do my 19"s. I got Just Tires to do mine in the end. they did a great job.

If that location I gave you is too far then check out the BJ's tire center in metropolitian ave. Next to the high school and Toys R Us. I used to go there all the time, they do 20" wheels too. They just cant do extreme stretches like a 225/40 on a 11"

Good luck

^LOL

At first I would scrape but after a while, it becomes second nature to angle the car before every dip. No one dares to try to fit in on the side while im trying to angle it at the bottom of the hill but they do honk and high beam me as I take my sweet time.

You need to really angle it like if you were heading straight to the fence then you hook the wheel the other way before you hit the curb.
