one last pro-street hurdle............
1 Attachment(s)
ok , got the rims/tires on, everything works perfect etc. but i cant find anyone that can balance these rims/tires because of the width/backspacing. so anyone in phoenix have a place they can recommend that can balance my tires for me ???????? ive been to firestone,desert rat,fly-n-hi,fletchers and none can do it cause they all use normal tire machines. :help:

Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
i don't know anyone in phoenix , but around here people use the big truck tire shops to balance over sized tires and wheels, might be worth looking into.

Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
les schwab? i dunno , i would try like whatr that guy was saying a place that does big huge tires for like semis and stuff
|
Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
Try a 4X4 shop.They sell big to huge tires and mount and balance them for 4 wheelers.Just a suggestion.

Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
already tried the 4-wheeler shops (fly-n-hi,desert rat) they both told me that with the big big tires (44's etc) they just throw a bag of sand in them to balance them.
i tried one big rig tire place but they use a standard tire machine to balance the big rig tires so no go there. ill keep trying. thanks lance |

How about the old standby. Bubble balance.

Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
Dumb question, but do really need to balance them? Can you feel them shaking being on the rear and all? Plus is it a daily driver?

Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
Our 33 Plymouth coupes tires are a little bigger than that and we got them balanced at discount tire. Just had to wait till the boss left and my buddy took the cover off that goes over the tire and we balanced it that way. Not real Safe but it got the job done.

Re: one last pro-street hurdle............
Discount tire can do them, I worked there for a few years and we did some pretty big wheels, the actually mount them from the front instead of the rear in some cases, check and talk to the manager as they have the most experience. Good luck
