TIRERACK MOUNTED WRONG TIRES ON RIMS. (archive)

I ordered a set of new rims, and all I needed was a set of rear tires, which I specifically asked to have mounted on the rear wheels. Since the rears were wider, I didn't think it would be a problem.
Well... They came mounted on the fronts.
So I had to pay some shop to do the swap and of course in the process the wheels caught a few scratches.
I finally tried the wheels, and of course they rubbed against the strut. I told the sales guy that I had Bilsteins in, but he insisted that they would fit.
I had to order 5mm spacers to make this all work.
Still the rims already have scratches, and have never even been driven on.
Last time I buy from them!
