Wheel Clearence and my Shock Arm bolt

MM-JAPAN · 06-19-2007, 07:18 PM

Guys, need to hear some comments on someone who knows if this is a problem or not.
I was checking my tires on my 2007 300C (I switched my 18" to 20" and .5 inch wider to 8.5") and I noticed that the BOLT to the shocker arm is only about an inch or inch and half from the top of the tire. I don't have any marks from it hitting anything but I want to get the KW V2 coilover shocks and was wondering if something will have to be modified because I want to lower my car 2" when I get the KW. Is that bolt going to hit the tire if I lower it with the KW coilkovers?????

Thanks....

the bolt will never hit , get the KWs, its attached to your wheel hub , it moves with the tire . the only way youll have problems is if you put way bigger tires on it , or put 24"s on it.

Tommy'ts right...however close the bolt is not moving is the same under driving conditions. I have Asanti 22s and they build them to come as close as you can to the bolt without touching. Mine is so close that you can barely fit a piece of paper between the gap. No rub at all. Oh and I have KWV2s. Your good!!!
