    If I can get a straight edge and feeler gauges I'll check it. Otherwise I can have it checked for free. Hopefully it is perfectly fine. I might have the valve seals done since it is so cheap=)

      Absolutely nothing got done today besides grabbing my rear subframe parts from jakes shop. One of my all reds somehow got hit sitting in my living room and is giving me a hard time trying to fix it.

              Oh I know good sir. No need to get flustered. I was just stating a little opinion of mine.

                  I get why you are doing it, I still don't like stretch.  How does the bead stay seated?  What happens when you corner hard?  Not being a jerk, it really doesn't make sense to me.

                    There is a chance that the bead could come unseated from a big pothole. I definitely need to avoid those because I do not want to bend lips. Hard corners have never been an issue in the past. You just need to keep them properly inflated and then there usually is no issue.

                          the worst feeling is seeing one too late, sitting up on the wheel, closing your eyes, gritting your teeth

                          bam, day ruined.

                              Haha I know you dont like stretch TJ;) At least the wheels will hopefully make you still love them regardless of the major stretch.

                                      Whoever said those tire sizes wouldnt stretch on your wheel widths is out of their mind.  I wanna see them in person!  Are they at your house or the dirty-30?
