Did you figure out what is going on with your stretch?

Ram Tire Co. in Van Nuys.

As for the Nankangs: they're pretty solid. I have no complaints so far. I've heard nothing bad about them. They stretch easy, they're mad cheap, I don't know how you can go wrong.

No they all tell me the same. Itll stretch with the wheel. I am thinking your wheel isnt 18x8 it might be a 18x7 or 18x7.5. They should have gave you a minor stretch. My friend says he will buy the tires from you is you decide to look for the 205's again. Let me know

Nankangs are great for the price and prob perfect for a daily low and slow car but stay away if you want performance and be careful in the rain. They tend to spin a lot.

That's exactly what I read on the reviews for this type of tire! When it comes to performance/traction

It depends. Nothing like Volk or Advance wheels, Just the regular type of wheels. I would have to call and get quotes fromt he shops.

Here's some pics of my car and the drop as it sits right now.
Nice ride...

Your car wont have much problems with the set up you are going for at that height. 225/40 would fit nicely.

Today was the first day I drove with them in the rain (Nankangs).

A bit slippy but with some caution you should be ok.
They cost me $300 (4 tires, mounting, balancing) couldn't be happier

ps they are tC specs. 215/45/17

Just washed it, messing with the height tomorrow. Expect pictures.

8mm or 10mm spacer in the back? Thoughts?

Yeah ill prib get nankangs again in the future. The price alone makes it worthwhile. The bf goodrich g force i have now are amazing though, very quiet and sticky. I used to chirp all the way to third on oem tires.
