I decided it was restrciting air flow and bought some washers to go on the bolts to fill in the gap of not having it there... is this going to hurt anything.. I have been driving the car for...

i would go with falken azenis or 512's... azenis look cool as hell.. so do 512's but they are more of year round tires...
azenis dont have along tread life but are farily cheap
