Hey guys, have a really stupid problem. I'm only stretching a 19x9.5 rim with a 235/35/19 inch tire! Falken Azenis. My friend got his on perfectly fine, no problems and regardless I've seen bigger stretches.
The beads on the falkens are spotless, but it seems the rim is leaking air from the bead! These rims are brand new, just got them from varrstoen. I need someone or a shop to help me mount this tire on my rim.. I'm about to try that brake cleaner & fire method lol. Can't believe it's not sealing, the tire shop I went too couldn't do it, and they knicked up my rim pretty bad but it's okay.. I'll repaint them.

I (and others) have used City Tire in South Gate. Ask for John, he'll take care of you.

Varrstoen's are kinda bad for stretching. I've heard quite a few people are having problems with them holding air.
PM Candlestick park, he'll know a shop in your area.
Edit; beat me to it Marcus

I went to Americas Tire Co. and they did a great job I just told them that I wanted them to be extra careful with the lips.

Discount Tires on Long Beach Blvd and Anaheim, one of the best guys I know that stretches tires in LB. Ask for Tommy, or try City Tires Service in Downey and ask for John

Choleaoum, let me know if you need your wheels done around LBC, I got a few buddies working around the local America's Tires in the area and in Carson.
I live down the street from that discount tire haha, Ernie use to give me discounts but he's on and off with them. Tyco hit me up! I need this damn tire on, it's holding me back lol. I'm trying to finish my air suspension, and I spent so much money on new tires, dismounting, mounting, balancing, all that crap.
I might try southgate, I'm going there for a "smog" today >.>

Problem solved, just a tire issue. Most of my friends run varrstoens, never had an issue with them stretching at all. From the BBS to the TE37's, great product.
Thumbs up to DiscountTire on Redondo & Anaheim BTW.
