I'm a beginner in photography and have been assigned to photograph a series of tire styles. I have all the equipment needed, am just looking for advise on how to photograph a tire straight on without getting this sort of bulge.
Would an infinite focus help this problem or should I purchase a different soft or lens? This is what I am trying to achieve and this is what is being achieved. Also any other quick advise in general is appreciated!

To do this optically (in camera) you will need to shoot the tyre from a long way away using a telephoto or supertelephoto lens. Being a long way away means the front of the tyre and back of the tyre are very similar distances and will therefore appear a similar size (imagine if you are one tyre-diameter away, the front of the tyre will be twice as close as the back).
You will still be left with a slight bulge, but that's easier to fix in Photoshop (if necessary) using the liquify tool than a large bulge.
