well they are stock rims and are not staggered. but i had them balanced yesterday and they charged me to do all four tires and then decided to show me i had a chunck missing out of one and wanted to sell me a new tire for 70 bux on top of the balancing which i told them i didnt have. they complained about putting the messed up tire back on so i said put my spare on then. they then put the spare on then when i got the bill they charged me an additional $8.50 to mount my spare. when i said that was bs they said well we didnt charge the full amount which was 15 bux. this is why i try to do everything myself because most shoops are out to stick it to you but unfortunately i dont have a tire balancer. any way i drove to work this morning on my spare which was mounted on rear driver and since i was running late i drove much faster than i should have and i didnt feel any shaking anymore unless i was doing 85 and pressing the brakes. i dont know if the spare had anything to do with it or not. this afternoon i bought a used tire for 20 bux and the guy told me that since it was going on the rear that it didnt need to be balanced. is that true? i got a good deal on the tire so i didnt want to bother him. if it needs balancing i will take it somewhere else. i havent driven it yet since i put the new tire on so i dont know if i should have it balanced or not what does everyone think?
