   wide wheels, thin tyres = stretch

   most places will put the tyres on, but i imagine some will be dodgy about doing it..

   just take them the wheels off the car, they normaly say they will fit them but you wont have any come back if u fit them to a car.
   
   tyre stretching is tricky stuff, some tyres work better than others, if it hads a big sidewall protector then the stretch wont look as nice, nangkangs do some odd sizes but the side wall is more round than some others, bridgestone 165/50/15s go well.
