Anyone have Autotech SS brake lines and wider tires?

[rhock99 at epix.net (Ryan H)]

OK, so it sounds like grommets it is for me!  I'm off to zip tie the lines temporarily, until I have access to an alignment shop... I can never seem to get the camber bolts back correctly.  Best left to the "pros" anyway.
Thanks guys!
