I got the wheels in yesterday, had the tires mounted and balanced this morning, and test fitted them after work. 15x7 Center Line Storm Wheels 42mm offset M&H Racemaster 8.5/24.5-15 Slicks The tire has about 1/8" clearance between the inside sidewall and the strut when inflated at 25psi. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/jimp2001/slicks01.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/jimp2001/slicks01.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/jimp2001/slicks02.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/jimp2001/slicks02.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/jimp2001/slicks03.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/jimp2001/slicks03.jpg) ---

I thought you had a dead cylinder? lol are you running with your car not 100% up to par? those are nice slicks. IMO, slicks look sooo funny on FWD cars. They just dont look right, I will never get over it lol ---

I think I’m gonna run a 7mm spacer to make it an even 35 offset. I did a little John Force burnout in front of Elliots house today with them at 15psi and ripped up the block in 1st at WOT. No rubbing at all. The spacer will pretty much be for good measures. > [@SSmokinn SS"](#): > > I thought you had a dead cylinder? lol > > are you running with your car not 100% up to par? > > those are nice slicks. IMO, slicks look sooo funny on FWD cars. They just dont look right, I will never get over it lol I think I had a valve issue. I had the compression issue after using the Altamont ave 112 Sunoco fuel in my car for the fisrt time. After the fuel was all gone, I noticed it was smoking less and seemed to gain some power back. I was also running the car rich, as I bumped up the fuel pressure 4psi when I installed the fuel system. I turned my fuel pressure back down to 58psi static and Sea Foamed the car yesterday. I did a leakdown test after work today. Zero loss on all cylinders at 160psi. Back in business! ---
