Mounting tires? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

SoStock92 · 03-25-2009, 08:20 AM

Hey guys I was referred to you by some on the forum I have a set of BMW wheels just powder coated by Bonehead and I want to throw these Sumitomo tires I just got on. I want to be really sure the finished won't get messed up mounting the tires! The wheels are 17x8.5 and 17x10 and the tires are 235/45/17 and 255/40/17 respectively.

Do you guys have Saturday hours and ~ how much to mount and balance? Thanks! Hope to come up soon!

Vince@R/TTuning · 03-25-2009, 09:20 AM

We are saturday hours by Appt only so we would have to set somthin up. looking $22 per wheel M and B with all stick on weights. let me know...

SoStock92 · 03-25-2009, 10:48 AM

Vince - is it on a hunter balancer? Stick on weights on inside of wheel preferred

I ordered tires from Tirerack today they say 3/27 - 3/30 shipping. If I get them friday I will give you a heads up for saturday? Or do you need more heads up

Vince@R/TTuning · 03-25-2009, 10:56 AM

yep...all the weights will be on the inside. let me see what i got goin on saturday but if i have another guy here we can do it...hit me up when ya get the tires...

SoStock92 · 03-25-2009, 11:04 AM

Awesome thanks - also maybe you can balance my 15x4" bias ply Mickey Thompson ET Fronts. NTB said they couldn't balance them because the Weld Racing wheel is two pieces and has a disc that floats around in the middle. I think they were probably just being lazy, but I had a hell of a shimmy at 50 mph.

Vince@R/TTuning · 03-25-2009, 11:38 AM

we have done them before and i dont recall if we had that issue....bring them with and we can try our best and see what happens...

SoStock92 · 03-25-2009, 11:43 AM

HuffRex · 03-26-2009, 10:14 PM

how much is the mounting and balancing with the clip on weights on the inside only?

Vince@R/TTuning · 03-26-2009, 10:16 PM

SoStock92 · 03-27-2009, 06:34 AM

$22 per wheel and we use all coated stick on weights

once again sorry about the delayed response

HuffRex · 04-10-2009, 11:49 AM

its ok vince but i can't stand those stick on weights, i asked about the metal clipped weights on the inside only, please let me know

Vince@R/TTuning · 04-10-2009, 12:45 PM

o my bad...no problem we have those weights as well, the wheels will only be static balanced not dynamic...so no guarantees on not having any shimmying, but u should be good regardless...looking at $19 a wheel

let me know...

Krissrock · 05-04-2009, 03:59 PM

VINCE,
how likely are u guys able to mount lo-pro tires w/o scratching the rims?
255/35
265/35

Vince@R/TTuning · 05-04-2009, 04:25 PM

^^^^ were pretty good(not to sound conceded...lol) u always run that risk of scratching them but we do alot of wheels and take our time so i think we will be good...let me know what ya wanna do

howielong · 05-06-2009, 05:40 PM
