Anyone know where I can pick up a set of 4 boxes to ship a set of wheels/tires I have? I haven’t sold them yet, but I just want to have some on hand so I can ship them as soon as they sell.

The rims are 18x7.5" and the tires are 225/45/18 so I’m assuming a box that 20" or 21" wheels came in should work.

Or, if you have a set…I’ll buy em from ya. Let me know. Thanks.

just got to staples and get a box that covers the face of the wheel do a layer or two on the front and a single layer on back. Tape it around wheel your going to save alot of money shipping it the shipping it in bigger boxes. Also drain tire pressure to 5-10psi to drop the weight down but leaving enough to protect the wheel. Easier faster and cheaper thats the way tire rack does it.

Yeah, I just cut some cardboard to cover the front and back of the wheel, then wrap them up tight with shrink wrap.
