How much work is to put rims on a regular tire?

Answer 1

There's much more to consider than just the actual physical work involved, i'm afraid.

1) if your new rim has more studs/bolts than your old one, that's a problem;

2) check out the rim size. Diameter difference should not vary too much from your original one. Too big, it will make your engine work harder which means less acceleration; too small, you'll be throwing away gas money.

Bigger or smaller rim will also give you false speedometer readings as it is calibrated to the number of spins your manufaturer's standard tire diameter makes. That could be dangerous.

Last word, check out 'The Bible of Tires' on-line. it has the best advice on anything about tires, rims, etc...

Answer 2

not much at all you just need a tire machine to do it. (and preferably a mechanic or someone in a shop that knows how to run it.)

Answer 3

Not much if you have the proper tools for it. If you don't, it can be done, but is very difficult.

Answer 4

i have only seen it done with machines. doing it by yourself would be a pain and a half i would think
