Thread: My $7 sensor lift

I think what you've done with your L322 is absolutely fantastic, and I'm looking to do some of it here, starting with a lift and 33's. Copy with pride, as I've been told they say in China... I've come across a couple of unanswered questions while researching your mods, hope you would be able to help me a bit further.

1. Wheel well: how did you go about making extra room for the wheels? Did you have to cut or reshape anything? Do the wheels still flex all the way into the well?

2. Bump stops: what did you do to the bump stops to ensure the car wouldn't lower itself onto the wheels in case of EAS failure? I can't seem to find appropriate bump stops for this model, can you use generic ones? If you didn't mount new bump stops, have you tried fully lowering the car?

3. Rims: how wide were they? 10x20? Is the offset(ET) 30 or 34? I think I've read both in your posts.

4. Wheel sizes: They are Atturo Trail Blade MT, correct? The 33x12.5 is stated as 832mm diameter on the Atturo web site, have you heard about anyone else finding them to be only 800? That's the listed diameter of the 285/50R20. It would be great if the 33s were actually 80cm, as this would make them almost legal...

I hope you have time to help me out with the above.

Thanks!

Thanks for you interest Brruno!

1: Wheel well. Quite simple. yes i had to do some mods, its been covered in other posts about fitting bigger tyres, basically use a heat gun to push in the fuel filler bulge at the RH rear. Because of the offset I went there was also some catching on the front, but again heat and press! I did have to move the washer bottle forward a few mm and just zip tied back up on the other side of the bolt tab (Hope that makes sense)

2: Bump stops. Nothing done yet. I will need to space the rear ones out with a bit of HD plastic block or something, the rear tyres to catch a small amount on the metal lip inside the wheel arch but thats because of the offset again.

3: Wheel size. only running off my memory here, i Think they are 9x20 and 34 ET. my recomendation is to not go that low. aim for a 40-45? that would solve a few of the issues I have had and still look the biz!


Good Luck! Cant wait to see someone else giving it a crack!
