I need to ship out 4 16" rims with 225/50 tires. I can't find boxes that are large enough. Anyone know where I can get boxes that will fit? I need about 4 24x24x10 or 2 24x24x20's. I found 24x24x20 boxes at mailbox etc. but they are $20 each. What other ways are there to ship??? Would deflating the tires be ideal also?

Thanks in advance.

 

sc4oo,

Deflating tires will not help, and you dont really need boxes. UPS accepts them without boxes from anywhere.

If you have the tires mounted on the wheels, just shrink wrap them and insulate the top and botom to guard the rims.

Here is what Tirerack uses. http://www.tirerack.com/about/return_tires_wheels.htm



Be sure that each package does NOT weigh over the maximum per package weight specified by the courier you choose. Most times you can tie two wheels/tires together, NEVER four.

interesting...

 

yap..that is how many wheel/tyre shops(even from japan) ship wheel+tyre combo

 

Hey interesting.. Thanks for the quick replies.

 

or..you can order from www.papermart.com like i do, and pay much less...:eek:

BUT, you need to order in "bundle" as in minimum order of 15 boxes...

 

wow that site is cheap! They have prices for per box, over $300 worth and per pallet.

 

i've shipped 16 and 19 and received 20 all in the same type of box, u-haul's extra large 24x24x18 for $3.75 each.

 

hmmm..i just measured my set up in 19s....24x24 probably is a bit tight...papermart has 28x28x12.....
