Figured this would entertain some people. After going to multiple tire shops, no one was able to seat the bead. It got late and we only had a few hours to roll/pull the fenders, adjust the suspension, get an alignment and have them balanced before we made our 400 mile journey to Eibach. We decided our best bet was to drink some beer and take matters into our own hands.

Big thanks to the roommates and other friends for the moral support

Enjoy

to much to drink

 

Umm......yeah....

 

what are you doing

 

Hahahaha Mikey, you are crazy dude. You get your fenders rolled?

 

 

saw your ride at eibach. excellent fitment. didnt know you guys drove 400 miles though, crazy!!

 

whatever works man

 

i don't get the fire thing, but looks like u had fun

 

When the starter fluid ignites it makes an explosion inside the tire and pops the tire onto the rim. The first couple attempts failed but once we got the hang of it it was cake.

And Chico, yea I got the rears rolled/pulled. I wasn't able to use the roller on the fronts because it wasn't low enough so I had to use my hands and other random shit. They were rubbing pretty bad about 50 miles out of town so I had to just use a pry bar to pull them out. I'm going to have them fixed and resprayed in the next week or so.
