if Lanning will do it. when I bought my last tires from tire rack(these are from discount), I called the Venice Lanning and the girl that answered the phone said they wouldn't mount them due to liability issues.
This time, I'm just going to just bring them to Lanning off Clark Rd. and hope for the best. If they say no, I know the Lex dealer will do it(they did last time, for $100), but only as last resort.

I just had to break out the tape measure to make sure
and that's really cheap price for the wheels!!!

Oh ok, they may not do it since you didnt buy the tires from them. The lanning on lime wont do it unless I buy my tires from them. The last few times they have given me great prices though, they were better than buying them online and paying a shop to mount them. If you get an alignment there let me know how it goes. Are you at stock height or lowered?

the wheels and tires are at the shop being balanced/mounted right now.(Lanning tire)
the only prob is they can't do an alignment until July 6! I can have the Lex dealer align on Thursday.My alignment is fine now. how much will wider tires/wheels affect the alignment?
