    Currently have my wheels at a wheel refurb shop struggling to fit my tires. The tires are 205, 60, 15 rainsports. problem is the tire wall is concaved alot and there is a massive gap between the tire lip and the beadseating we have tired a cheetah and flamible spray with cheetah. We were able to mount 1 195 to a 9j but the wall wasn't as concaved. Anyone have any tricks we can try before we look at using petrol as the ignition source lol

    Is there any reason why you'd want to? lol.
    Cant see the bead staying seated with that amount of stretch?

    Ive got a 60 profile tire wall so stretch isnt that bad. They dont offer 15s in many options above 205

    Camskill do 225/50, 225/60, 235/60 as well as a monsterous 345/35/15 coming in at a very reasonable £546.20 each! I would either look at bigger wheels or wider tyres, I ran 205/40/17s on 17x9 wheels and that was too much stretch for me (read; not cool enough).

    The stretch isnt as obvious on a 9j due to the larger tire wall. Changing rims is not an option.
    Why too skinny im running the same spec rims as the nagano koubou rosebud s13 apart from hes runing 195s all round.

    Core out, high flow airline, 2 cheetahs set at about 120-150 psi, make sure the bottom seat is sealed then blast away....timing is the key!! Have fun!!

    So have it plumbed up to an air line aswell?
    I've seen the inner tube trick. Might give that a shot aswell

    turn the rim upside down so the front bead is closed up. it leaves a smaller gap of the back.
