I think the solution is raising the suspension (which I did 1 inch in the picture of the left side of the car), then taking the wheel adapters down from 25 mils to 11 mils as well to suck that wheel in a bit. Everywhere has a good amount of clearance except the rear for some reason. Worst case scenario I get the dremel out again and so some surgery.

Hopefully that does the trick. I knew I should have got 295/30's but I'm a sucker for punishment it seems.

I'm just curious because I plan on getting a Varis widebody in the future and I need to know what tires I can use.

Installed adjustable endlinks.

Note: if you're going to use Whiteline sway bars (in the front), get adjustable endlinks. If you use the stock endlinks, or the solid Perrin endlinks like I did, the end of the sway bar will hit against the lower control arm.

I just installed these too. It looks to me that the end link may be too long and hit. My car is still in the air though and will be for a month or more. Have you tested them yet?



Looks good.


ETA I'm dropped about 3/4"

Yes, works great! Just make sure to set them with the suspension compressed.

Thnaks, good to know. I'll be dropping the car with them unattached.
