    Tire to body - rear

    How much are you putting between tire and body - with IRS - rear.

    What dimension? Top of tire to underside of wheel well? Center of shock mount to outer edge of fender lip?

    Which IRS? I'm assuming 2015, but you know what they say about assuming...

    The problem is they do not ever rub at the top. They rub to the rear of the tire at about the 10 or 2 position. On an IRS 315s will rub the fender and the kidney panel behind the seat at the same time on full compression. FYI. Richard.
