1LE OEM wheel/tire combo rubs harness

Well folks, Took my wheels off today to clean them up after an aggressive track day @ Sebring... lookie lookie.. I gotta move that harness before it rubs thru! Any advice on how to take the liner out? Also, what does that harness run?

Thanks,
TC

This is the driver's rear... It is a known problem with 305+ wide tires.

The liner is only attached with a few clips and torx bolts (rear splash guards also use these, hope you have them ), should be easy to remove.

The wiring harness is a section of the main body harness, see service manual excerpt below, you don't want that to rub through.

Thank you , now i gotta go check mine , I haven’t tracked it but better be sure that I don’t have the same issue. Are you running stock 305 size rears?

Z28Pat, yes.. stock OEM 1LE wheels and tires. But, when you drive aggressive on a track day, sometimes the flexing of the tire will rub the liner and that harness under it (or so my research has shown)

Spotted the same issue after a recent track event - I thought about moving the harness if possible but if this is common why not get this done under warranty. Any thoughts?

1LE drivers side rear wheel well harness rubs

Well thanks to arpad_M, I decided to move the harness myself. There are some YouTube videos and his service manual excerpt diagram helped me to accomplish this feat.

So, here we go! I circled the harness connection point that needs to be moved.

Here you can see the actual harness point where it connects to the body. It is a simple push in- type zip tie holder so i just wiggled it out.Name:  Inkedharness point_LI.jpg

I moved the harness back into the body, away from where the tire rubbed thru the wheel well liner and then zip tied it back against itself... there is a lot of slack so i am hoping this won't present another problem. I plan on checking it next weekend.

Finally, I buttoned it all back up and felt around to see where the harness was now in relation to the previous spot. As you can see from the photo below, it is back away from where the tire rubbed thru the liner.

The whole re-positioning drill took me 45 minutes.. that included jacking the car up, taking the liner out, taking the photos along the way, re-installing, and drinking a victory beer! Name:  finished.jpg

I hope this write-up helps other 1LE/ZL1 owners with this problem. I do have a GM rep looking into why this is NOT a TSB for those of us with 20" wheels, since the car is made to be driven on track and could have this issue... I'll let you know what i find out.

Cheers,
TC

I discovered the same issue yesterday. For me a zip tie is poking through the liner.
