Nothing ever goes smooth that has anything to do with my car. [:'(] Check this out, I buy some tires off ebay. Got some BFG KD's 285/30/18's brand new for half the price of new. Took them to discount tire to have mounted. I have 18x9 saleens in the rear. So they get one mounted perfectly, no problems. The second tire, they spent 3 hours trying to get the bead to pop so it would hold air. Finally they just gave up. WTF? They just said sorry we cant do it, re mounted my old tires and gave me the new ones back. I dont get it, wtf should i do now? There are a ton of people running 285's on a 18x9, why wont mine go on? I'm just confused that a professional tire place couldnt do it. And in the process of hammering at the tire, they managed to chip the powdercoat on the rims also. Do you think its something wrong with the tire? Or do you think i need a wider rim? The dude at the shop seems to think that if it were a 18x10 it would go on easily, he thinks the side wall is to stiff to squeeze on a 9 inch rim. I guess i just dont get it, because arent a lot of people here running this size on a 9 inch wide rim?

 

Ya man I dunno. My 275's on my 9 inch rim fit perfect. My guess is you got screwed off ebay.

 

man if you ever want rims installed never go to discount tire. I got into it with them twice over them saying my 20x8.5's wouldn't fit on the front with a 245/30 tire. That was only the 1st problem. THEY SUCK!!!!
