^ thanks tho...... I myself and James ( Signal_JP) had our tires rip in the inner bead from the same shop.. I order 2 new tires for the rear, but scared to let the shop mount them again. If it does rip again i cant make this meet, and out another 300. Exact..?

Exact Motorsports is a trusted vendor and they are careful about tire mounting, but you didn't say what size tire is being stretched on what size rim and also what brand tire. At some point Exact may not want to do the work.

Make sure you are not stretching beyond the recommended rim size by that manufacturer.

My girls uncle has a tire shop in SF...a lot of JDM/DTM guys go to him for wheel install and purchase. If you are interested let me know and I'll PM you his contact #.

EDIT: If you are wondering if I ever taken my cars to him for wheel stuff, answer is no. Not because I don't trust his work, I just don't like driving to SF....too many potholes for me. And I am not planning to stretch my tires. I go to Americas Discount Tires down the road. BTW: They do awesome job on wheel installs, but they will not do any work with stretch wheels for liability reasons.

^ thanks.. but i myself too dont like driving in that area. I might consider Exact because its only like 5min away from my house, and if they cant do it, i might take my chances again with the same shop that rip my tires only because i dont want to miss EOS.. I have a 19x10 and stretching and 235 35 19 on it. Falken 452

9.5 is the MAX recommended width for most tires this size. Exact won't touch it.

This is way off topic for this thread, so I suggest you post a new thread cuz you are not going to get much help without posting a description of your problem in the title of the thread.

Good Luck
