I bought some 16" wheels with snows mounted through ebay. They were packed in pairs in cardboard boxes, with a cardboard panel between the wheels in each box. Box was stuffed with newspaper in the corners. I think the shipper got the boxes and packing materials/advice from UPS.

Pretty elaborate, but they did arrive damage free, even after being shipped through customs to Canada.

Also, tires were deflated to save weight.

Good Luck!

: Can anyone recommend to me how to proceed with shipping
: out tires already mounted on wheels ? What sort of prep work, if any, should be done to protect the finish?

: I assume UPS will work but if anyone knows which carrier is best for wheels & tires, please let me know.

: How does Tire Rack or Discount tires ship theirs?

: Thanks
