help please
I need some serious tire help from the big dogs! I have been trying for the past few weeks to get a tire to stretch and bead on the rear wheels of my new set up with no luck at all 
My Wheel specs are 18x12 -13. I first went big and tried a 245/40/18 with no luck. I also had a set of 265/35/18 laying around and decided to try them. Again no luck multiple tries using every method in the book! Either bombs/cheeter tank/bike tubes/straps/etc... Im all out of ideas. Also When I do the either or cheeter it seems to work then all the sudden the tires bead just pops off the wheel. The front tires went on no problem 18x10 +12 235/40/18. Its been really depressing and I almost actually sold them because of this.
So if any of you guys have any other tips or tricks I havent mentioned please let me know! I would truely appreciate it.

You could fit 225/40 on the front and 265/35 for the rears are good. Maybe you need to go with a different brand tires. Try them nexens, generals, khumos

rps13drift,,
What tire brand are they? That could be your main reason.. also a 245/40 on that 12" will not work..
265/35 will def work... again it could be your tire selection, if they are run flats they will never fit.. trust me cause I tried some run flats for drifting and the tire blew and broke my buddies knee..

Johnny, that will fit no prb, just a littler or on the fenders and you should be good. when you place the car on the ground it will camber in more so you should be striaght..

i wish someone would build a z like this. tucking looks sooooo much better than attempting to fit stupidly low offset wheels that end up poking like a lowrider.

Thanks for the help Royal T! The 245's were dunlups and the 265's are Nexans
My last idea I have is to try two cheeters at the same time with an air line pumping! If that fails im screwed!
