Need Tires Stretched/fitted?

[DjeMz]

I have been trying to get 235/40/18 stretched onto a 18x10", every single tyre shop either said they wont do it due to legal reasons or they wouldn't bother trying and those who did try using the tire changer failed.

This is a vid Albert made with my friends rims:

The beadblaster works by pumping around 100-120psi into the tire and as you can see, perfectly fitting it on the rim.

I just got mine done today, and for only $30 he removed my old 265s, fitted + stretched new ones + balanced them!

He also picks up/delivers rims if you are located in the east or willing to pay extra for petty.

He does not own a tyre shop nor work at one, he just borrows a friends tyre fitter to get one bead on.

Call Albert from the east on 0431 475 306, make sure you tell him 'emz' sent you and he will look after you.

Heres some pics of mine:

Enjoy guys!

hehe thanks dude, cars still a pig atm, nearly finished preping the car n primering it, going to get painted soonish, still unsure of colour! either white or satin black... not sure :S

ps if u take off you old tyre, and push the new tyre on (but not fit it obviously) i think he charged 15 or 20... even cheaper if u dont want them balanced (good for drift/burnouts)

whats the legalities of rims/tyres like these?

is it that the tread pattern of the tyre has to be under the guards?

or is it the rim which needs to be under?

It's supposed to be wheels which tuck under (sorry I don't have any proof from vicroads site), but chances are if you're wheels even get that close to your guards, they would've went over the amount of track they allow anyway. That or they dick you for having 'tyres which are the wrong sizes' on your wheels.

Need you use that blaster thing, that's the way I could get my 235s onto my 10" rims
