How Did You Get Your Wheels/Tires To The Shop?

marknagy13 · 03-25-2018, 01:11 PM

Just got some new Lexani Cyclone wheels and Kumho Ecsta PS91s put on and thought I would share!
It was such a pain in the ass getting everything to the shop jammed in to a Camaro. I can imagine people here with bigger tires and wheels even struggled more.
How did everyone else get there stuff to the tire shop?

I bought my wheels/tires from PK auto, had them shipped to my house mounted, balanced, lugs and all. The only thing I had to do was take the old ones off and the new ones on. No mess, no fuss.

I put them in the back of my truck and the rest was history, its good to have a spare set that I can put on the car while I had the new set put together.

For those of us that don't have trucks to do that....

One front in the trunk, one front on the passenger's seat, two rears in the folded down back seat. It was snug to be sure but they fit.

+1 for PK Auto. Mounted balanced, just jacked up the car and put em on. Same for my 2010 but went through Factory Repeoductions.

If I was only ordering rims, I might consider having them sent directly to an installer I trusted or something along those lines. Or borrow a truck / SUV to transport.

2 at a time. That’s how I did it.

Ship to the installer or find a friend with a truck.

Tetris was my method as well....

1 in trunk. 3 in back seat. 2 are stacked and 1 at an angle.

Worked for my stock 20" wheels.

Took the wheels and tires to the installer (with the truck), after they were mounted and balanced took the Camero to the installer and had them put on the car. Then made another trip to the installer with the truck, picked up the old mounted tires and rims and took them home.

Pain in the butt, having to make three round trips to town (180+ miles) to get this done!!!
