My concern with the fitment of your tire would be how much it might expand under heavy acceleration. I rembember there beings something like maybe a 1/2 clearance. No way I'd trust something like a wrinkle wall slick of that approximate size, but maybe a DR or, basic (?) slick, might not expand too much. What do you think?


Second question. Might I be able to bring out the pumpkin to you and you could pop it open and take a look at the gears and maybe the LSD to evaluate it's condition. I figure while things are totally apart, it makes some sense to evaluate their condition.
They fit fine and even if they grow they won't rub. However, with the short sidewall on them I doubt they will grow much.

We can take a look at the rearend anytime. All we need to check for is the wear pattern on the ring and pinion and check the bearings and race for pitting and wear. As for checking the limited slip it all depends on what type Mazda used. Did they use a clutch style?
