If anyone else out there is wondering LEXANI tires do streatch! Just had them installed. Also on a side note, the boys @ HW Motorsports hooked it up. Professional device, extremely fair pricing and the tech even went as far as to shoot my rusty shoot out calipers with black paint.

I really liked how they 512's looked with the lip protector, so I would prefer whatever tires I elect to run in place of the 512's have that too. I'm picky.....lol.Did you guys find any tire to replace the discontinued 512's? I'm having the same problem with 215/40/18 falken has discontinued those tooOriginally posted by OSSHWA View PostI'm running into this exact same problem right now. Still undecided as to what tires are going to be a suitable replacement for the 512's.
I know v12's run narrow but the sidewalls suck on those tires bubble city!

I've got my Falken 512's stretched with good results.
Front is a 195/50 on an 8 inch wheel and the back is a 205/60 on an 8 inch wheel.

Stretch XL tires?
Hey
Nankang NS 2 can be ordered as a XL tire, with reinforced tire walls(215/40 ZR18 89V XL). The wheel is 18 x 9,5.
Can you stretch these tires with xl walls, or are they getting to stiff?
I have tried searching alot on google, but with no luck...
Somebody?
