O/T Wheel question

I'm working to finish my wifes O/T 47 chevy and took the wheels (billet) to my tire shop to get the tires mounted and the shop wouldn't mount them as they said the wheels were out of round. we put a dial indicator on them and it varied .030in on the bead surface. Should they be better than that? I did a search and got more confused; is run out the same thing? I've always run steel on everything else I've owned and don't know enough to argue with the wheel dealer. Thanks in advance, I sure would like to get back to my T

i took some tires to get mount the other week and the tire guy told me i had 16in. wheels and 15in tires. so i told him to flip the rim over and try it from the back side. you should have seen his face .they ent right on no problem.

 

.030 is to spec for many companies these days. Run em but get a new tire guy.

 

I bet he was afaid his dumbass tire jockey would wreck your wheels and didn't want to do it.

Tire retailers usually don't hire engineering graduates.

 

Me too, just go somewhere else.
