Well what a load off.
Paul no worries they fit the flares fine. You need 4 1/2" of back space. or they WILL rub the inner fender well. This ia on my new to me Centerline 8 1/2" wheels
Total tire/wheel weight 30 pounds. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

and Paul, DO NOT run these on the street. These soft tires will pick up boulders and rocks that were not loose till the rubber sucked them out.

I had about the same clearance before I moved the wheels out slightly with additional spacers and they rubbed the rear inside when cornering hard. Make sure there are no sharp edges or anything where the inside of the rear tire can contact as it surely will rub. I have some picts where the edge of the rim is actually out over the outer edge of my Goodyear cantilevers in the back and I never thought they would move that much.

Sweet! So do you feel a difference between the new wheel/tire combo and the old ones? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Caulk gun was to seal up the gap between the steel and fiberglass.

spray foam ? God I hate that shit. get one little bit on your finger and pretty soon it's everywhere.

Not able to go 10/10ths around the block. So I don't know if there is any difference is acceleration. tires did get heat in them pretty quick 3/4 mile worth. and then they sucked up rocks real good.

Good to hear they fit. I'll try to get mine mounted this week.

I've made a few other tweeks to my car that I'll share later. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

-1.7 front -2 rear (that's how I had the car set up for other radial R-comp tires.
The question of tire pressure keeps running around in my head.
I have gotten advice from lots of internet bubbas. som say as low as 19 psi ????
the guy I bought these from said run them the same as I did for my A3S04 Hoosiers which worked well for me at 29 PSI

I think I will go with that for the 1st run and examine my white shoe polish marks and use my probe type tire pyrometer temps across the face.
Forcast is high 70's to maybe 80 degrees sunny on 2yr old smooth as a babies butt asphault.

With enough data gathered and recorded I can make adjustments in the right direction for the 1st points event of the year. Trans Louisianna Autocross Series or TLAC 1 for short held next week. Not divisional competition but some pretty good drivers from Texas, Louisianna, and Mississippi show up from 5 regions.

Running more than one degree of camber will be hard on the tires and nowhere near optimum for grip.
19psi would be a good starting point if you were going on track. I think a good AX cold starting pressure is 22-24 and check it after each run. I'm sure the sweet spot is a little different than for the cantilevered slicks but probably similar. The car doesn't weigh much so the pressures shouldn't be very high for such a wide tire. I don't ever get much over 26psi in my race car tires and have nice flat temps across the surface.
