Yea, I had my tires mounted and balanced at China-mart once, they charged me an additional $14 for carrying my own tires into them.

UPDATE:
I still have the tires on the car! I installed a Mr. Gasket brand 1/4" wheel spacer on each rear wheel. So far so good.
The spacer set (2) was $28 at Autozone. Definitely buy them off of Ebay if you need them. I just missed an auction where it was $15 total with shipping for a set of 4!
I removed the rubber trim around the rear wheel well as the tire would rub the trim since it was hanging down and wouldn't go back on the wheel well lip.
I still have minor rubbing on hard cornering, but it's from body rub.
Visualize looking straight down at the back wheels from above the rear of the car. The tires rub on their inside front edges. The front of the wheel well curves out from near the trailing arm to the wheel well, and they rub on that metal.
I took the BFH to them and it helped a bit.
I'm not as concerned now, because I'm only occasionally rubbing the tread, instead of the sidewall.
A few more thousand miles, and the tires won't rub due to general road wear anyways.
The fronts rub under hard cornering only when the car is loaded. Not sure quite where yet, as it hardly ever happens.
