i heard a guy did this to make sure his rims didnt get scuffed. Is this possible? How do you do it?

 

By hand? Like doing a bike tire?

No, it isn't possible.

maybe one of those strongest man contest guys could lol. but most good shops have a wheel machine thats made for nicer wheels. Doesn't use a harsh metal plate to guide the tire on the wheel.

 

I couldnt..and I rip phonebooks in half

You don't need that much strength to rip a phonebook in half...or a deck of cards.


Just get it mounted at a local place like Discount Tire Direct.

 

Just tell em to be careful

My girls dad did her white wheels on her neon, he used some kind of hard plastic stick thing with 2 rags wrapped on the top, never made a single mark

 

ya i hate when shops put new tires on my rims and when they put the metal balancing things. ahh...

 

friend of mines said he mounted his own tires before but i don't think he's done it since

 

it depends on the size. Big fat tires like 235/75-15 or something with a soft sidewall like slicks can be put on by hand but anything low profile isn't likely.

 

Just go to a place that is rim freindly and ask if they guarantee to not scuff the rims. Discount Tires is good. Good luck!
