    Wheel - TIRE clearance

    No issue on rubbing, none, zip, zilch.
    Have done about 40 miles and they clear wonderfully. Will be putting several hundred on this weekend (and maybe a couple laps if I am lucky) will have a hands-down confirmation of any possible clearance issues after that.

    Mudflaps are the O'Rielly's 'best,' lol. Seriously I never shell out mad-$ for mudflaps, just the standard O'Rielly's, they works great. (Side note: I mounted the fronts a wee-bit too low, due to body-roll they are currently "self-clearancing" during the more vigourous cornering, lol ) Scared a buddy I let take it for a spin

    Tires: Kumho Ecsta PA31 -Size: 195/50R15
    WHEEL: AVID1 15x6.5 4x100 (offset +38mm, IIRC)

    Are these the mudflaps? Did you have to drill to install them?

    Yep - that's them. Take 3 screws to install. (Put on jackstanks and pull wheels off for the rear, turn wheels left & right for the front or put on jacks and pull wheels off too. And measure, measure, measure - I am anal about their symmetry, lol)
    I went with the MED. Size, not the small, smalls were too small, IMO. I think it was $8 (set of 2) IIRC, might have been $12.

    I have installed these on several cars and have had very good experience with 'em.

    a couple (wet) mildly-hot laps

    Got to run ゼロ on a few laps on a wet track early this morning. Very fun, all things considered, only spun once (was the only car out there) - and no off track excursion :-)

    Tires & wheels worked great!
    Mudflaps experienced more clearance ;-)
