Do the coupe wheels travel past the wheel well arches up into the body as they move through the suspension travel?

I have my ride height set low (Front: 3-1/4 inches, Rear: 3-3/4 inches) and 1" spacers on the rear wheels. No issues with the tires hitting the body.

Thanks Paul, that is good news. I made wheel well liners and wanted to make sure the wheels would not hit them. I don't have my wheels and tires yet, so I could not check.

Paul,
Do your tires come out flush to the side of the body?

Yes, for the most part. They have that appearance for sure. With the minor exception of the RH front where the body overhangs slightly. You've probably heard about this asymmetry. No big deal and only those that know about it even see it. Mine is #59. Perhaps this has been fixed in later versions since I know they did some work on the molds. But I don't know.

Thanks, that is good to know. Not sure about the RH front yet, but the asymmetry is still a thing in other places.
