Anyone have Autotech SS brake lines and wider tires?

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

They have in my case...  I cut them off the other line, stuck them on the 
strut, slipped the SS line in there, and then rotated the grommet so that the 
cut portion was against the strut itself...  I have had them on there for 
almost 25K miles, no trouble yet...

As for the tire size if that it correct, then you may have more troubles than 
I have, I dunno....

Cheers,
