The Hobby shop here won't hold anything over a 16" rim... I had to redneck seat the beads on 33x12.50x17's with a compressor that puts out the air pressure of a fart. Got it done though, the balancer goes up to a 20"... figure that out?

I wanted to put 33's on 15" wheel.
They wouldn't even let me try it.

In case the hobby shop doesn't want to mount something, I have a manual tire mounter in my shop.  I can mount any size tire that you want, as long as we can get it on there.  It is great for big tires since the side walls flex easy.  I also have the motorcycle attachment.  I don't have a way to balance tires, yet.  I have been looking at a static balancer, but it is a little ways down on my "tools to buy" list. 

Gearhead-So what do you need to do to the YJ to get it going?  I have owned a YJ for over 14 years now (that's 2 years more then R.J. has been alive) so I may be able to help.

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

Most of the tires I have put on can be Muscled onto the wheel... sidewall flex + foot/highlift/ratchet strap= mounted wheel.

Gearhead... I was talking about the Hobby Shop here in Italy, not the one on Subase... Never had the misfortune of trying to use that one. before I left the last one to use that one that I know of was Sandy... and he F#@$'d up his wheel trying to use it. He's the guy that used to run it before Rebel.
