Spacer Install North of Atlanta (Alpharetta/Milton/Canton)

Any recommendations on a place that will install spacers and properly heat and shape the fins (vs cut out) so they don’t rub?

North of Atlanta in the Alpharetta/Milton/Canton/Woodstock/Holly Springs area

It's a pretty easy job to do in your garage if you could spare an hour.
I think finding a tire shop that's willing to forego any liability stuff is much harder.

Agreed, easy job but would be a lot easier on a lift and someone else doing it lol

What type of liability stuff are you referring to?

I've read that most tire shops refuse to install spacers citing accidents from wheel hub failures.
Stupid, I know. But I guess the cheap labor fee they get from installing them is not worth the liability they might face in case someone decides to sue the tire shop for an accident that probably wasn't caused by the spacers.

You're welcome to come use my Quickjack if you'd like.

Hey, Alex,
Did you say your shop does custom exhaust piping work?
I'm trying to find a place I can trust that'll do the resonator delete + x-pipe weld on the far end resonator.

Weird…I called them and they quoted me $5XX for the install and spacers, he said they had 12mm and 15mm in stock

I used butler tire in the past, but had a scary moment on spaghetti junction where the steering wheel started bouncing all over the place. They did something wrong, but of course I lived to tell the tale and they fixed it…it was on the highest bridge 285E-85N.
