Hi guys, I had a pretty rough day. This is going to be a long read but I hope you can help. I recently purchased an SC300 with Work Eurolines. They're 8.5 x 19 in the front and 9.5 x 19 in the rear. The tires that came with the car were 235 x 40's in the front, and 275 x 40's in the rear. Well these hella rubbed and the rears were shot, so the seller actually provided me with a set of new tires with the deal. They are Falken Azenis, 215 x 35 for the front and 235 x 35's for the rear. Well I found a Merchant tire down the street from my house and they always seem to have vehicles with larger aftermarket wheels and stuff. I assumed they were professionals and knew what they were doing. Man was I wrong. I dropped the car off at 8am this morning and got a call around 11:30am telling me that they attempted to mount three of the wheels, but they felt strongly about not mounting the wheels to the actual car for liability reasons. I told them to mount the last one and I'd stop by and see the work. Well it was complete shit 
The fronts aren't too bad, but the rears just didn't look right. The stretch is shorter on one side and looks all uneven. I'm not sure if anyone has had this happen, but it just doesn't look right. I'll take some pictures if you guys really want to see. I really didn't trust the wheels on my car either so I decided to get my stock wheels. Well two of the tires on these stock wheels were shot with steel wire and stuff. I don't even know if they would hold air. Of course Merchants wanted to sell me two Michelin tires for $140 or some crap and they didn't have any typical cheap coopers or futuras. So I had to run all over town and finally picked up two $90 tires from Pep Boys. So I ran those back to Merchants and they finally mounted those. They were actually cool about the bill and didn't charge me that much in the end cause of the situation. Anyways, I've got a set of horribly mounted stretched tires on my wheels and I'd really like to get these removed and installed correctly. I know there are tons of SW members in the Nova area that can probably help. Let me know if any of you guys have a preferred source that can do a professional job
