    where can i get some 33x12.50's mounted on 15x7's without catching hell?

    I think i'm grabbing some 33x12.50's from a buddy of mine. I'm going to run them on my 15x7 ecco wheels.

    And before everyone loses their minds. I've done this before. But. I mounted and balanced them myself at a buddy's shop.

    Anyone have a tire guy that won't care that they're going on 7" wheels?

    My balancer was broken. It works now.

    I have run 33s on 15x7s. A little lower psi so they wear evenly and you are fine. And they never came off the bead when I aired down.

    That's why I've always loved running a 12.50 on a 7 or 8 in wide wheel. Can run stupid low air pressure and not lose a bead. People actually give a hard time about mounting tires thay aren't in the recommended window?

    Walmart.

    For $5/tire you cant beat the price, especially if you'd be mounting them by hand. I don't know how much they charge to balance, but I've had them mount my 36" Iroks without any issue. Figure its a big soft tire on a steel wheel, its almost impossible to screw up.

    Walmart is over $20 a tire to mount and balance a tire you didn't buy from them. Plus their fees. They won't mount tires that are not really close to the oem size. Which is the OPs main concern.

    The Wal-Mart by me mounted all 4 of my 36's on 17" wheels and even a spare 39". The only question I got from them was if I could help load them back into my truck when they were done.

    I didn't have them balanced as I was using airsoft, but it was definitely $5/tire. I used to just hand mount the larger tires in my shop, but for that price it's not even worth my time or effort.

    If they're truly a 'special app' tire & wheel combo like a large low profile tire, runflat, etc., then I wouldn't even consider them, but for big offroad tires I have no issue having them do the work...not a whole lot they can screw up
