      Yeah, find a tire store the sells "Dubs", they will be versed in mounting low profile tires on fat lips.

      soft lip, fat lip...etc the tire has to be mounted from the backside of the wheel.

      I agree with Frank,
      took my fronts to a "Dub's" shop, nice guys but had nothing nice to say about what they have seen "regular" tire shops do to soft lip wheels.
      Went in to a 10 minute explaination on the way to do it right.

      Needless to say when the rears show up I'm headed back to the same place.

      Exactly what's been said above. Take them to a tire store that's used to seeing that kind of business and it won't be an issue at all. Intro also offers wheel/tire combo packages. We mount and balance them and then ship them to you ready to bolt on.
