So i'm actually posting this for a friend, but i need to know this as well in the near future. He is trying to mount a 225/45/17 on a 17x9, so far to no avail. Are there any tricks to this?

leave the tires in the sun for a couple hours

depends on tire too some are harder to strectch then others
but the sun technique works great
