Sorry, maybe I wasnt clear.
EVEN IF 20 SHOPS SUCCESSFULLY MOUNTED YOUR TIRES, they'd ALL be wrong!
Do you think that "fitting" and "holding air" defines the suitability of the tire and rim sizing?!??!?!
THAT makes no rational sense.
The tire manufacturer engineers the tire to fit specific rim ranges- change that rim width beyond their specs and you have moved beyond their calcs on contact patch, sidewall dynamcs, wear, safety, handling, etc, etc.
Logic and technical input on the internet and all that is- often- much better that the 'technical support' you get from the high school grads slinging rubber at the tire shop.
Anyway.
