I just got some falken ziexs 512 went with the 255/50/16 all i read is thats the biggest you can go, ive got some 245-50-16s on now. went to walmart to have them put them on, and the first tire he tried to put on he started to air it up and there was one corn/side of the wheel where it just wouldnt pop up like it was supposed to. so anyhow he beat it with a rubber mallet and let air in and out and couldnt get it to go on. has anyone else ever seen this? am i wrong about what ive read about the tires fitting on the stock 97 z28 5 spoke rims? tomorrow im going to try another place and see if they can get them on for me.

 

Hmm, shouldn't be an issue. On my old teal 94 Z28 I had 255/50/16s on the rear. Stock 16x8 salad shooter.

 

yea, common problem. some tires take more air to seat the bead. if he gave up on it on, then he should just quit now and let a *ahem* professional handle tires

 

Walmart FTL

 

for reals

 

thats the brand of tire/installer. A good installer wont have a problem with it.

 

i would never let walmart do anything with my car!!! take the tires to a tire store and thay will fix it for you
