The tyres will fit straight on to your XR rims

No, it is not possible without the right tools and can be very dangerous if you dont do it right.

With the right tools its possible, but its a struggle! No way would i ever do wheels on my own unless i absolutely had to! Looking at about eighty for four rims swapped over, and balancing. Depends what theyre like

You mean re-wheelalign. Balance is for vibrations.

If the tread is scrubbed down on the either in inside line or the
outside line of your front tyres, you'll need a wheel alignment once they are fitted to the new rims. This is worth around $50. Country NSW price on swapping over 4 tyres with a balance for each of them is about $30 total. A good tyre place should do the lot for you in one visit. |
