Pretty expensive cause I'd have to get tires too.

very nice

Anyone recommend a place to mount stretched tires? I'm not sure if I trust TFT.
235 on a 10" and 265 on an 11". Nothing crazy, but not normal.

DJKhan85 · 04-07-2010, 11:31 AM

TFT might give you a problem since the fk452s say to not mount on a 9.5 inch wheel or above. So they may not want to take the liability chance.

windowsM · 04-07-2010, 11:42 AM

Yeah, I might need to find an indy shop. I ended up getting Falken 512s instead of 452s because they stretch a bit better.

JeffL · 04-07-2010, 12:08 PM

PM Fatmike he is running a similar stretch.

windowsM · 04-08-2010, 08:19 AM

I PM'd fatmike, waiting for response.

I was talking to my buddy in Nashua. He recommended me a place, and said TFT probably won't do it because I didn't buy the wheels or tires from them. Doesn't hurt to ask.

Yeah, they won't. They won't even mount tires you purchase from them if they're going on wheels that aren't already mounted and weren't purchased through them..

windowsM · 04-08-2010, 09:10 AM

Tires are arriving Monday, but I probably won't get my TPMS til after. I bought a set off a dude in Canada 2 days ago and he said ~10 days shipping

so you rather wait 10 days

no worries, i'm not in a rush to sell them since they don't take too much space, besides i'm not even around MA

windowsM · 04-09-2010, 04:28 PM

Yeah, I shoulda just grabbed yours, but I got a set pretty cheap.

I'm thinking of doing the BMW Performance M-Sport splitters:

MassBimmer · 04-09-2010, 10:49 PM

^^ I dig those on the M-Sport bumper...

Patsfan123 · 04-10-2010, 07:57 AM

I always have Dominos deliver my pizza. There are 2 of them in Quincy, not sure if you are a fan of them. There is a liquor store i always go to called Atlas Liquor at 661 Adams Street, Quincy, their prices are reasonable. Or you can buy it from Stop & Shop on Newport Ave.

windowsM · 04-12-2010, 07:45 AM

2 of my tires were delivered on Saturday.. 2 are coming today
TPMS were in Montreal last time I tracked, so hopefully they come this week and I can get them mounted up.
