No issues with then being on 9 inch wide wheels? I know discount tire will mount them but a lot of other places wont. That is the size I want and I also have 9 inch aftermarkets

This stuff was supposed to be applied dry, I thought. I do have some some prep spray. Should I have used that anyway? I've got some carbon fibre wrap for my "B"pillars, that's supposed to be applied dry as well. Plan on doing those tomorrow, should I use the spray anyway?

The prep spray gave seemed to help so you could lift and stretch easier. I am no expert but I think it helps. Go to Rvinyl and watch one of the videos and you decide.

No issues at all. I didn't go to Discount Tire. Went to another here in Colorado. Told them the tires I had, and the look I was going for, and they recommended a bunch of wheels that would work. Why won't other places mount them?

Same thing happened to me John Saturday morning. Tried wrapping my tails with pre-cut wrap. Near impossible for me. I wound up rolling it into a ball and throwing it in the garbage. I will wait for the Morimoto or Anzo tail lights to hit the market now.
