MAP, and Hotchkis both appear to be showing the exact same bar on their websites. (one and the same?)

Unable to find any info about the swaybar swap affecting clearance. I ordered a set and will report back my findings. Wheels should be ready by the end of the month.

Bought MAP arms. Guy was arragant💩POS. Do a search on the other forum. First post he said 335’s would fit. So I bought 4 Toyo’s But 305’s to be safe. He said 10” rims. Believe me I could only go with 285’s. with his freakin arms and had to shave off app. 3/6” off rear bar. Just use 275’s on stock rims. or buy my 2011 grand sport all black, just put 285’s up front and 345’s/30/19’s on the rear👍 😉 good luck

I am currently in the process of installing 275/40/18 Michelin Super Sports on stock rims widened to 10 inches.

Can't wait to see the changed look.

295/35R18 on 10.5"
I just mounted my 295/35R18's to my widened 10.5" Accessory wheels. These are not a bolt in thing. A small spacer will be required ~5 to 7 mm most likely and the control arms are going to need to be trimmed and boxed a little otherwise you'll machine the inner barrel of your wheel. Everything else seems to fit ok in there. This won't work with stock springs either. The smaller diameter springs that come in most coilover kits are required.

275/35/19 on a 9.5" wheel--1/2" spacers for clearance with longer studs. There were 295/30s on it when I got it, but no MM spacers.

Do any of the aftermarket bars increase the clearance?

Should I change my order to 9.75 before it's too late?

Pilot Super Sport 285/35's are waiting on the rims.
325s hit the sway bars. I am hoping for 345s, but the sway bars will be removed and be the least of my worries...lol
