Settle down- they're just stretched tires. If those were a problem people wouldn't do it all the time with very valuable wheels.
Come on, there is a reason you have to do it yourself and professional tire mounters will not assume liability. You can rupture the tire bead, and the tire load rating is greatly diminished.
