Reverse mount the tires with the face of the wheel down on a towel, if you do scratch atleast its the backside which will never be seen. :tipwink:

I got a 89 civic sedan . I so far I got diamond racing wheels brand new tires and blackwards lca tie bar and camber kit. I plan on doing a swap very soon but I wanna get my suspension done first. I wanna get coilovers and put the full setup either this weekend or next week. I can't wait to get out to meets!!!

RCT Performance in Queens does all my mounting and balances as well as for all my friends. Rare, New, Crispy, ETC they haven't skipped a beat or disappointed me.

I recommend them.
