my old chap has a really old tyre machine that works with 10 inch rims

i would say find a really old style garage but as your in the states try a trailer dealer as trailer wheels are 8-10 inch so they should have the facilitys

A friend of mine did mine by hand, i think he used a bit of perspex 5mm wider than the rim, this way the edge of the rim doesnt get damaged. This was with 165/70/10 tyres on a 7.25 wide rim!

Hi,
I'm pretty sure they have to go on from the rear of the wheel.
Cheers,

I fit all my tyres myself, I find 10's easier then bigger tyres.

Just make sure the tyre is in the wheel well, and it'll go on lovely..

Check the address Alex, Not many 10" rims on SUV's!!

I had the same problem with wire wheels, maybe look for a British car specialist, at least he will have heard of 10" rims...

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
