i dont think that you should bend the rim back.. even if it is just a little bend. but if youre really sold on bending it back, make sure its exact. if its just a little off the tire will fit but the chance of flats will increase on that tire. or.. you could find someone selling the rims and buy new ones? you could go to the dealer? maybe? .... but this is just what ive heard while sitting in the lobby of discount tire.
