Given the odd shape, I'll probably have to make something to take up the space in order to provide a flat surface to attach the air deflector. Otherwise it will only cover up 2/3 of the tire like in that picture from above.

Others have had success with double-sided tape. I do have some double-sided duct tape. I might also try some industrial strength velcro left over from doing the grill blocks. I'll use coroplast or cardboard. Either one I'll coat with black Plastidip to match the rest of the car and to waterproof/protect from the elements in the case of using cardboard.

The 50 psi has been great. I've found it makes a huge difference in coasting and thus mpg. Yep, same tires and probably the same wheels.
