Can you run Falken Azenis tires on 2 liter Fuch alloys? Will they clear the wheel well without flaring? The wheels I picked up last weekend turned out to not be 15X6. They are the same size and offset as the 2 liter Fuch alloys I already have on the car. So what are you running with these tires? Not Aaron as he is running 5 lug.

... They have a 195 50 15 tire that would be killer for autox. ...

Sort of. I mean, the extra torque is nice, and the feedback from the contact patch is just fabulous. But you better get used to shifting!! 2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3-2-3... I feel like I row the damn car sometimes!!! Sometimes you get killed because the more important parts of the course are in between gears for you, so you have to upshift and downshift while your competitors just hold the lower gear. Doesn't seem to happen all that often, but it does happen.

Heck, you can do multiple 360s (at least one in each direction!) even without trying, sometimes! I was pegged at the top of 3rd gear and lost the back end of the car (whoops, forgot the last slalom cone was shorter than the rest!). Went round and round and round... I tried to catch it a couple of times, but that just sent me around the other way. I wound up doing at least 3 360s. Thank heaven Alameda has tons of run-off room.
