mounts upside down but NOT clamped from inside out (unless you want teeth marks on your lip). upside down and clamped from outside. Any reputable tire shop will know how this is done. For extra protection, some shops use plastic or duct tape on the clamps.

ok so if the drop centers in the rear its a reverse mount, if its in the front its a regular mount.

this is the exact rim i have----

Or go to a shop that grabs the wheel by the lug holes and center bore. We have a similar machine at work. It's a Corghi. Awesome machine.

All wheels with big lips happen to be reverse mounted
