Question Help: Where in 909/626 can I stretch my 215's tires on 10's?

Hey guys, I need help in finding a shop that does a good job and is willing to stretch 215/40 tires on 10's.

I called TIRE CENTRAL, but the guy on the phone indicated that if I wanted to stretch the tires there I would have to wait til Tuesday because they are too busy to do it today.

I'm hoping to stretch the tire by today or tomorrow.

My current setup... 18x10 - XD9's wrapped on 225/40 Falken Ziex (all around)



Haters, please don't post anything here. Don't make my thread worthless (even more). Thanks!

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

@ Richard. With this setup my car isn't fully dumped. I had sold my 25mm spacers, but I think I'm going to buy them again for the fronts now that I've stretched 215's.

@ Zakira. They weren't rubbing. I just want a more aggressive setup.

I've got my 215's installed already. Becuase of its reputation, I decided to drive out to South Gate (City Tire). They have stretched 285 on Chris Foesberg's 20x13 it's shown on their website (http://citytireonline.com/news/archi.../drift-support)
I asked the guy how long he has been working there and he said that he has been there for 21 years and has been stretching tires for quite some time. It was denitely worth the drive. They took care of my rims. Good customer service. I will be back there on Wednesday afternoon to do the rear tires.

Here are some pictures...




Thanks guys for all the feedback!!! I appreciate, Thank you.

Glad you went with City Tire. I go to them quite often. Best prices for tires I've seen in a long time. John's really cool too!

Thanks. At first, I thought they were going to bill me sky high, but they actually didn't. All I paid was $25 for the mounting on each wheel/tire. I then ordered another set for the rear at a good price. They are definitely going to stay in one of my preferred shops.
