35x14.5x16 Boggers "New"
Going on Pro-Comp aluminum 10" rims "Used"

My local tire center / everybody I've called "can only do up to 33 inch"
East Coast Gear Supply "Don't have time / don't want to mess with them / and would cost me way too much".
4 Wheel Parts "Will not do it unless they were bought brand new from them"

Seems I can get any modification possible done to a truck besides having the tires mounted to drive it.:flipoff2:
 
If you've got the time and an air compressor, pick up a couple of cheap tire spoons from Harbor Freight and do it yourself. It really doesn't take more than a few minutes per tire once you get the technique down.

And I would never be caught holding the bag ever again... I'm having to baby sit my tires in Raleigh today at work. $2000 worth of tires and rims in the back of my truck and every homeless Joe-the-drug-dealer starring them down today... Not fun. :-(
 
If you really can't find any place I can do it in my garage but I can't balance also blue flame on capital the used tire place should do it cheap

yep, been there and done that. That's exactly why I started mounting them myself.
 
Where in Durham? I work in Butner, and there is a shop in Creedmoor that i do most of my tire business with. They mounted and balanced metric "35's" that i brought in and didn't buy from them. M&H tire http://www.mandhtire.net/
It's just a short drive up I85 exit 191
 
Discount tire did my 37's no problem. I did buy them from them though.
 
aww i miss years back when i worked at NTB in cary and guys off here used to bring me all manner of crap to mount up.

The one on Walnut did swampers for me back in the day. Had to do one set twice, though.... the guy that did them the first time didn't know what he was doing with the balancer. Put about eight pounds of weights on each wheel.
 
Wow, I have all kinds of options now. Decided to go the spoon route for these will be used off-road only. And I'll have knowledge for when a bead pops / need another tire put on.

Thanks!
 
I've had just tires do mine the one in apex at beaver creek. And that's all the way up to 39's just don't expect to get them balanced because their Boggers
