If I leave a car sitting on two flat front tires (concrete driveway) will that damage the rim? It wont be driven or moved (unless I have to move it in my driveway) but it may sit for a little while.

I would plug the tires but they are cut on the sidewall so I cant.

The car is not being driven right now and I dont have $$ to buy tires yet.

No.

 

Why not just put it on jack stands to be safe and protect the rims.

 

I would guess that sitting on a pair of tires whose sidewalls have a hole in them probably protects the rims better than just about anything else...

 

they might get dirrty other than that no. you might mess up the tires if they sit with the weight of car flat. they can create flat spots in the belts

He said that the tires are already toast (they're cut on the sidewalls).

 

as long as the car doesn't move, the rims will be cool
