Smaller tire? Probably the worst way to get out of this problem...

Can you snap a photo of the wheel/tire hitting the strut/spring?

He's taking a big gamble with such low profile tires, eh?

Excellent suggestion. Or use the poor man's IR thermometer: run it around good then look under there to see if it's glowing.

What a pretty wagon, my goodness. I love it. Two sparkplugs per cylinder? Thigh bolsters in the back, and here I am wondering why it's taken US market cars 100 years to get them in the front! BMW had front seat thigh bolsters in the 90s, Volvo in the 2010s... and there's several others now I'm sure....

They drop in value from $1.8M to $1.7M.

I'll do the sand removal for $750k, it goes back up in value to $1.8M, and everybody's happy.

This looks like the car the Italian had, yes. It was for sure a Maserati, like Joe Walsh drove... or rather didn't drive, back in his day.
