They do not rub until you put the car on the ground. When I installed my wheels we spun it to check for clearance and everything was fine, but I felt something thumping as soon as I pulled out. went back in to the wheel shop and the tech looked through the spokes as I slowly rolled the car forward he noticed the back valve stem was hitting the brake line.

Ya that was the first thing I did when I found out the tire went flat. I checked it again when they gave me the bare rim too.

Well I only got to drive it for a couple minutes so I couldn't tell yet lol!

That one is on Discount Tire themselves. I told the guy if they even checked them and he said they did....BS. The manager said he would "help me out" when I came back in to have the replacement put on whatever that means. I'm guessing a discount?

DT is usually a stand up place. back in the late 90s I had a set of BF Goodwrench Comp T/A white letter 15" tires on my 88 Camaro and I had a flat tire when at work. I got a can of fix a flat to get it to a local tire lube at walmart. the guys at walmart said there was nothing they could do they hosed out the fix a flat and put air in it but it was still slowly leaking out. I drove down the block to a DT and not only did they fix the leak it still held air even when i sold the car 2 years later.

Ya, their not making any money on that and the risk is too big should they mess it up.

This is a very common problem when you go wider wheels.

E-brake line can be tied back to fix as well.

This is a stupid question by me, but what kind of wheels are you buying where the stems face inside the wheel? I have never seen that before.

They are Niche Milan's. They have a double stem valve. One on the front where they normally are and one on the back. I honestly don't know why but that's the way the wheel was designed.

[anthony.]

still dont like nor understand why niche has valve stems on the INSIDE of the damn wheels. DUMB!!!

[mlee]

High end wheels are like that. My D2 Forged were the same way. The E-brake line needs to be re-positioned.

I have a set of 22" Giovanna wheels that have two valve stems too.
