Wheels and tires reply fast please

I dropped off my wheels today to get them mounted and balanced... but I didn’t tell them it was staggered! What do I do they’re closed and they may do it tomorrow.

how can I tell which ones are the 9.5 and which are the 8.5? So I can make sure I tell them when I see it

I believe you can tell by the width difference when you see them. Or take a ruler with you to make 100% sure.

Tire sizes are clearly marked on most tires. Ask your tire people to explain more.

If this is an actual tire shop, they've done this before and will know to put the bigger tires on the bigger wheels.

Wheels are stamped on the inside with the size/width.

If they mix it up, you will see right away as the difference in wheel/tire size will result in a serious stretch or badly bulged sidewalls if they put them on the wrong wheels.

you dumb ****, I’m asking about the damn rims. Daddy doesn’t do my purchases I do. He helps me find the right stuff. Maybe you can ask daddy to raise you to listen correctly. Maybe read correctly. Maybe love life. Maybe to get off. Maybe to become a keyboard warrior

Hey, if they fit the tires incorrectly, the wheels will "cry" at you, you will instinctively just know somethings up.

thanks man, I went to the place today at 9 am, tells me he hasn’t touched them since I’ve dropped them off yesterday at 3 pm. Later I get. A call at 12:30 and get told their machine arm “broke” so I look around and find a tire should next to him for $20 each. I was lucky enough to tell him about the staggered.
