Thanks Sledge for the video. I found your video to late so I have a fuel gauge issue now. Going to dealer today to pick it up and to fix it myself....great day.

thanks,

great video.. just wondering... after you relocate the wire harness does it still rub? with 305/35/20 lowered 1"

It will for sure rub. But it will rub a little hole and the harness will not be touched, so no real issue... outside of the hole.

I am a bit confused too about this. Would the offset on 11" wheels prevent the rubbing?

I am going to put 18'x9.5s and 305-45 DRs on my SS. I will move my wire first anyway. hoping also then to find a way to pull in the inner cover so no rubbing takes place. It would be a shame to get dirt in there.

I put a MT 305-45 mounted on 18" rim on my car the other day to see if it would fit, driver side and about 1/2" clearance, too close for comfort. A 40 would be perfect.

I feel like my harness is extra long. Any idea if this reroute is safe?

Here's a post from GdGraph

Here's a picture of my driver side rear wheel well. After you remove the wheel well liner you should see a cable that runs in the general path of the red line.

- Remove the wheel well liner by popping out the handful of plastic clips (I only undid the forward half of the liner)
- The yellow marks represent where the cable is secured with a zip tie,
- Cut the bottom 2 that are shown
- Relocate the cable by sliding it inboard as far as it goes (shown by the green line)
- Down at the bottom by the harness connector you will see a frame with a hole that you can run a zip tie through to secure it in it's new location

You can see in the picture where the hole will form from rubbing. This particular picture is from a BFG 305/35/20 on stock springs. Why did I go with a 35 instead of a 30... Because that's all the BFG comp 2 A/S comes in and I wanted to run a 305 size A/S on my 20x11s.

After a few hundred miles the rubbing stopped (didn't get any bigger than what you see below) and no issues with damage to the cable.

Thank you. I read that thread and my harness wasn't exactly like that which is why I think it's extra long or something lol.

I cut 2 clips and moved it inward. As possible

Here's how it looked before. Notice how it curls back up.

Would 305/30/21 tires rub against the harness lowered on afe springs?

[mustangcrusher1]

what about M&H ET 305/45-17 on a 17x9.5 wheel stock ride height, will these rub???
