well, if you could get them on there in the first place is the question. if you somehow did, the cords that make up the bead would break and your tires wouldn't seal and you would never be able to drive on it

I don't think you would be able to find someone to mount them for you.

There isn't a tire machine made that has enough power to tear the beads on a 14 inch tire to fit it to a 15.....not gonna happen.

Any reputable Wheel shop should be able to do this... just take the rim and tire in and say that Berz sent you and they will be able to do it quite easy I would guess. *snicker*

Berz out.
