Taking them apart is pretty straight forward. Just take the bolts out and break the outer seal then pry them apart. The worst part is removing all the old sealant.

^ If you're trying to go low with minimal rubbing, I think a lot of us would suggest a 40 series tire on 17s.

Has anyone ever plugged a stretched tire? Or had any issues with a nail? Found a nail right in the middle of my tire today and I can't tell if it has gone all the way through or not. Thinking about just plugging it.

I have a nail just like you, and I just lefted cause I wasn't losing air or anything and I've been driving with the nail in the tire for like a month and had no problem so far but it wasn't until yesterday till I was deciding to go to the tire shop & have them take it out patch it if it went through and rotate my tires cause Its kind of scary Lol, so I'll probably do it this weekend

yes they can sir!!!

@Irishguy0224

some places that claim to be able to rebarrel use low quality steel or aluminum that bend and form easy. they also use low grade bolts or wrong thickness in flaring edge of the lip where the face meets the barrel causing there to be less thread threaded on the nut/bolt. also the aluminum sometimes is not balanced properly causing ____ty vibrations... yes balancing the wheel and tire helps but the wheel will never be 100% balanced like it should causing the studs to shake on the faces and become loose after a while (needing to be tightened more then they should after X amount of mileage)

its little things like that that are very important.

Hahah alright funny guy. Nail, screw, doesn't matter. It's a metal object that has punctured my tire.

patching a stretched tire can be done, it just is super sketchy bc of it being stretched already. GL tho!
