Relocating Wire Harness for Larger Tires
Someone asked for a summary of how to do the wire harness relocation for the driver side rear wheel well when upgrading to larger tires. I uploaded this summary and picture and figured I would share here:
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. |

I took my wheel off and did the wire reloaction as directed above. Then I went down to discount tire, after a sweet burnout of course, and had some ps4's installed. (295 in the back)Upon receiving the car, discount tire said it was rubbing the fender well a little bit. So I went home, pulled off my tire and peeled the liner back, cleaned a couple spots on the frame with alcohol, and stuck velcro to the car, then peeled the other side and stuck it to it. I then put the liner back and pressed where the velcro was. I gained maybe an inch of space as there was a gap between the liner and the car. I can now get my fingers behind the tire where before I couldn't. Figured this might help some people from preventing holes in their liner.
