The worst part is I have to run stretch to get the tyres to sit in my guards. :cry: and when you hit curbs, it ain't tyres ya grinding up...... :lol:

ever thought about changing offset? or width to a more suitablle item?
i would say you are trying to roll with the widest wheel possible...........or just brought wheels blind and got the wrong offset to begin with?
you dont have to roll with streach if you dont want to, its rather simple

there are simple solutions...........but normaly the simple ways cost money :lol:

Dead right, new tyres are usually cheaper than a set of new rims.
