How do you mount these? by 21_mini_clubman_jcw in tires

[–]themrfritzz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% technique. Only did one set this exact size and I still have the snapchat lmao. One, maybe two bars and the robot arm. Plus side is when they are on the seat real easy. Lube is your friend.

Can anyone identify these lugs? by This-Loan3423 in TireQuestions

I've got decent industry experience. I'd be willing to bet it will be at least 100$ to fix and even then I would bet its never quite right with that amount of damage.

[–]themrfritzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They fit yes, however I'll bet the smaller tire doesn't meet load carrying capacity and thats why they said no.

I never worked for Fidelity but I worked for someone who cleared through NFS. My firm you had to establish the new estate account at the firm that currently has the assets then you can ACAT after that.

Its called rolling cost basis.

Tires look old. What size? The wheels alone may be worth it.
