I'm trying stretch my tires on Meister S1 (18x10.5) with General Tire (235/40/18), but couldn't get it work. I was at tire central, JC auto house, and pepboys, but no luck.

Is it the shape of the wheel or tire that causing this problem? Front had no problem at all. Although, we did use cheeter (cheater) to get it to work.

Do you guys know any shop that can get this to work? Any recommend shop? I'm getting tired of this crap.

I'm doing my 5 lug conversion w/ STI bbk this Sat, so I'm gonna need my wheels mounted before that.

Thanks advance!!! :bigok:

I seen it on youtube video, but I don't feel like blowing my tires or racking my new Meisters.
