Can anyone recommend any shops that will install stretched tires on aggressive wheels? Local shops in Gainesville won't do them

Looking to get 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 on:
19x9.5 +22
19x10.5 +22

Preferably near Gainesville, but willing to travel to Orlando, Jax, Tampa

Go to one of those used tire joints. Thats where I go. Those hispanic dudes will usually put anything on

That's not a major stretch, can't believe shops turned you down...

Reelop19 is right, typically used tire shops will do it. Discount Tire, Firestone, and places like that TYPICALLY will not stretch anything. I say typically because some places will.

Put some tape on the lips of the wheels before you bring them. Tell them not to take it off when they're mounting, you can get it off after. They won't ruin the wheels that way. They could still ruin the bead of the tires though, so be careful. It's happened to me before.

If you already had them mounted, and they're leaking air, they probably fucked up the bead. If they're unmounted, you can look at the inside of the tire. Here is are pics of two of my Hankook V12s they fucked up when stretching, you can see the bead is severely distorted.
