Tell your tire guys to try harder or go work on the other islands! There are lots of 18” owners running that tire w/o issue. 285 is the max for that rim but it is doable without special tools or procedures. Good luck!

Sounds like your shop is paranoid. I didnt even get a lifted eyebrow or a shrug when I had my 285's done.
They dont by any chance work on bigwheels and trikes do they?

Go somewhere else and get it done. They obviously don't want your business. A lot of people are running wider 285's on those 7" wide rims. I had those on mine and my tire company had no problem putting them on. Did they get the right tire?
