Where to go to have new wheels mounted?
So I finally have some new Volks GT-AV 19in. But I'm not sure where I should go to have them mounted. I need to purchase new tires for them too. I live in Columbia. Any suggestions?

because technically you can just sit in parking space, jack up your car, dismount your wheels, and mount these wheels on your car...
If you meant, you're getting new tires and you wanted to have the new tires mounted on your wheels... then that's a different story...but i'm assuming this is what you meant..
not sure if Frank can do this at Hills garage, but he did say he had the equipment... Maybe you should ask him...
410-636-5554.
Tell him Allan sent you.
BTW... NICE WHEEEEEELS!!!!!

Thanks Alberto. The size are 19x9.5 +24 front and 19x10.5 +24 rears. I'm thinking of 245/35-19 front 275/35-19 rear although I might do 275/40-19 on the rear.

That's perfect. No need to fender roll either with 285/35. I hate having a lot of space in the fender well. Those were the sizes suggested and I was really trying to find out how it looked. Less space looks a lot better. Thanks

btw 285/40 doesn't fit without a roll for me. Had to raised my car up a bit and still taking chunks of tires when aggressively driving. Second thought, should have done 285/35 but damnit the 40 looks gooooood.

Great reviews on these tires, great price ($806 shipped), so they on on the way. Don't want to hear anything bad, to late now LOL!!!

I thought about that, but I don't have the stock bumper on any more. The one that is on, had to be modified just so the 18's could fit. So I'm hoping I don't have to take it back to the body shop to have it cut again for the 19's. It's gonna be close.
