The lenghts people go to fit rims on their cars....( lol pics)
I thought I had just about seen everything until today.
Gentlemen comes into my work and asks me to mount some tires on his Corvette wheels. No problem I say. He looks at me and asks me if it's possible to get the beads to seat. I look at him puzzled and said
"Of course, why would I not be able to?"
His reply" They're kinda stretched"
At this point I was
Things got interesting when I asked him what they were going on. He replies " A VW Jetta."
I asked to see the tires and the rest was history.......
Mind you, these are 7.5 wide and 8.5 wide wheels.
They looked MUCH worse in person. Meh, to each their own.

Hell yeah there was a disclaimer wrote on our behalf.
I used as much bead sealer as possible, but the customer is always right.
I would have pics installed on the car but on his way back to the shop he hit a construction site and wound up putting a hole in his oil pan.
He picked up the wheels in a tow truck with his car on the bed.
Nice guy and all, I just do not understand the logic of stretched tires.
