I assume he's talking about using some kind of flammable propellant that is sprayed into the tire before it's fully mounted on the rim, and then when ignited, will pop the tire onto the bead.
Not what you'd call an OSHA-approved technique.

I will agree I liked seeing your pics, cause I had the idea, but I had never seen what it would look like. Seeing your pics gave me the confidence to go for it! So, thanks, and I will post when they are done!

Gotta love d6-mcs's car. The stance is perfect. Its amazing how many people dissed and bashed him for what he was doing. Yet now seems like everyone loves the stance and wants to know more about it.
New pics to be posted soon (of my car, lol)...

Are these 19s or 20s? They look huge, and it makes the car look like a 4x4. That thing needs a SERIOUS drop asap...

^^ yah, some people think filling up the gap by using a larger circumference
is the same thing as lowering a car to minimize wheel gap.
ABSOLUTELY not the same.
the larger wheel you go, the lower
you have to go.
