I haven't put any PSI in, there's not even a valve fitted yet.
The rear wheels are an inch wider that the fronts. Currently only the front tyres are on.
Ruffy come and help me fit these god damn tyres, I don't know how to do it  And I'm scared about the sudden bang. (I've been watching videos on youtue)

Excellent, if you could that'd be great.
If you have a look at the youtube video I posted, you can't just wack air into it, as the tyre sits completely loosely. I'll give the "fire trick" a try
How much am I looking at for a garage to fit a new valve for 2 new wheels? £5 each at a guess I'm hoping?
(As you can see, the tyre is "on" the rim, but sitting loose, as its obviously too small. Hense once fitted, it shall be stretched

20mm spacers all round. Arches are being rolled on Saturday, so the wheels won't be sticking out!!
