Default Americas tire won't change my rears

Where's a reputable shop who can change out my rear tires? I gotta leak and want to put it in a tank but Americas Tire won't touch it cause of the load index. They won't dismount the tire so where do you take it to? Any guys with crazy offsets, where do you go?
I can drive from San Jo to Newark if it's someone good and you trust. Need as soon as possible, my daily

At least that americas tire knows their limit. I went to one and they told me they can dismount my tires on my 2 weeks old work meister without scratching it and what do you know when i got my car back.....? Anyways, whoever you take it to just make sure that you have them note any existing scratches, nicks and or rashes if any.

I've dealt with AT and know some guys there and told them that my wheels are in "new" condition so they took care of me and my fronts. Homeboy just said he can't do my rears. This year my wheels got a makeover, powder coated and polished lips so their basically new like condition. I dont' have one scratch or rash on them so I'm not trippin off that.
Hell yeah bro you're right about advising them on the condition of my wheels.
I do trust California Wheels, I live on that side of the city, but they jack you for your money. I might just take it to them if that means I can't trust anyone else with them.

I go usually go to any of the following:

WDGARAGE in Fremont
Speed Element in San Jose
Auto Innovation in Milpitas

All are great with low profile/stretching.

Same thing happened to me at one of their locations. They should just make you sign a disclaimer if your load index is too low.
