    So I was looking over the motor this afternoon, I knew I had a small leak on my timing chain cover but was never serious enough to fix.

    lol no I didn't shave the tires, that's dumb. I shaved the rear bumper tab in the fender well as well as cutting and folding the metal lip of the well/fender where it meets the bumper. As for the center cap, the stock Mazda ones fit but look stupid on the wheels. Il happily keep the Mitsubishi...

    Got my 235/45 Sumitomo HTR Z III tires mounted up on the eve wheels and boy do they feel good! Had to do a little shaving in the rear so the tire would stop rubbing but she's good as gold now.
