specs front:
18x9 front with a 215-35-18 nankang ns2 tires and have a considerable amount of stretch and have never had any issues on the front after 2 yrs of driving...
specs rear:
18x9.5 with a 225-35-18 nankang ns2 tires that are a decent amount of stretch
my issue:
I have been running this setup for almost 2 years now my front wheels have never had an issue i bent one last year had it straightened and been fine.. The rears i constantly have issues with them loosing air... i cracked 2 inner barrels last year which i replaced the inner barrels and still same problem... Everytime i go to my car i have to check the tires which results into me having to add air 2-3 times a week if not more... I've had them looked over checked for run out,checked for straightness checked at Rimpro i've dunked the wheels 100s of times in water with soap with no luck finding a leak and they still lose air i've even replaced the tires because i thought that was the issue... Now with the air issue i dont notice the tires being lower than 30psi which ends up making them more vulnerable to cracking which has happened again due too a decent amount of negative camber and low air combined with our amazing New England roads... I'm replacing the inner barrels again and i need help is there something i can do??? Is there something i'm doing wrong???? Do all you stretched guys have issues with this please i'm on my last leg of trying to figure this out and i've run out of options and its putting a dampening on enjoying my car the way i should...
Any real info would be helpful and much appreciated please help i know there's alot of ideas you guys have on this website please help
