recommendation for a shop to mount tires?

I'm in the process of having my winter tires mounted onto my stock 189 wheels. I have a squared set of bridgestone blizzaks lm60 225/40/18. I've asked a few shops to see if they would have any difficulty with the rear since the rear tires are 255s. Some shops have said yes, others have said no. If you guys can provide me some recommendations to anyone who can positively mount these tires on, I'd appreciate it.

I don't see why tire shops will have difficulties mounting different tire sizes. I mounted 265s in a local tire shop and they didn't say anything about any difficulties.

Just had my winter's put on at a local shop. The guy there tried to tell me that putting a square setup on staggered wheels was "not recommended". I told him to just do it as tons of forum members have had it done without issue. No problems at all thus far - the rears just look a bit skinnier.

Check tirerack.com for preferred installers? That's what I did.

I had mine done at currys, 235/40/18 square set up with 10mm spacers in the rear and car runs great.
