Jon, I have one of those in my tool kit.

Thanks for the offer of the spacers. I'll do some more research before I decide what to do. Need to find out the proper size from my tech. I'll get back in touch with you about it. Do you have the longer lug nuts to go with them?

 

Your solution is as follows: Loosen the 6 bolts on the driver-side compressor and "clock" the outlet with hose away from the tire. You can probably move the compressor outlet tube about 15 degrees and still use the OEM hose. The top bolt is hard to reach and you must take the second to top bolt completely out in order to reach the top one. This will all make more sense when you get under there and begin the procedure. (I just happened to think, the instructions I gave you apply to a Garrett GT30 series compressor. Yours is probably totally different). Get all bolts loose and give it a twist. Once you have done that, it can be a challenge to get the threads to re-engage on that second to top bolt. Patience is a virtue.

Don't worry about the inner fender liner. The safe thing to do is to see where it is starting to rub, then remove the liner and cut a relief in all directions. While you're in there, remove the flimsy steel liner bracket and bend it back a bit to help reposition the aft portion of the liner.

 

Yes, I'd send those too. If you want to do it, you gotta catch me this week, as I'll be away the entire month of May.

 

I'm running 20x12 Iforged wheels in the rear with 315/25/20 tires. Lowered on H&R springs and my liners did rub a little bit but never put a hole through them as of yet. This might give you a little reference point. Fenders aren't rolled and this is about the max (some go 335 but maybe different tire brand) you can go without rolling the outside fenders or running a lot of camber.

 

My car is impersonating a GT2 It is a turbo with neg 1.4 camber and about a 25.5" ride height from the ground to the top of the wheel arch.

335 RA1's work fine except for the 1" hole in the fender liner. I have removed the support bracket and used a heat gun to reshape the liner per (Zippy) but it still rubbed through.

 

I'm going to try some spacers.

 

I'm at just about 26 in the rear and I forget the front but maybe 25.5 or so in the front from the ground to the middle of the fender arch.

 

Ok,

Question for the experts...what if one has a GT2, how big can you go on stock settings? 315 max or 335's on the rears and how about the fronts?

 

something is way off. stock wheels shouldn't rub through with only 1 1/2" lowering if anything the lower you go the more clearence you should have at the hose. do you have adjustable upper arms? have you checked your toe? and eccentrics?
