I got some tryes fitted to my RXII's a couple of months ago by one of those mobile tyre fitting vans. I was giving the guy a good grilling about stretched rubber but he didn't seem to know too much about it.

What do tyre places so to you when you ask them to stretch a tyre on so much?

the front is down about 70mm and its very very tight! i need to raise it up about 10mm but i am realy realy struggling to get the coilovers to turn.....

my friend works at VW so he did them in his lunch hour! but there are a couple of garages around here that dont mind doing the stretch...the best thing to do i think is to just go into the place and say you want a 195/45 or whatever on your wheel then let them get on with it and dont mention stretching.
