| who can i take my work rims to get new tires mounted?
I live out in north surrey, I have a set of powder coated 17x9.5" work rims I want to get tires mounted and balanced on. The tires are 225/45R17 so they will have to be stretched a bit, any recommendations for good shops with good equipment? I don't mind driving a bit, I just don't want them to scratch them up.

Most "speed shops" will do that kind of work, but just cover your ass by asking to talk to the manager ahead of time prior to service, telling him they are fresh/new, do a quick visual so you can show him they are mint. And also make sure that if any damage does occur that it will be fixed to no cost to you.
If a shop does not agree to that, then it's not a shop you should be taking your car to

took mine to Big-O on kingsway & Joyce (i think) and they did a good job stretching tires for me. iirc there was a thread on here years ago that gave this place a good rep for mounting tires

He's good. Like $10 each tire i think it was.
