CTS You dont have to shunt any of the cut wires to keep an open antenna out of the ECU?

Does anyone know if the 14" steel rims sold through Tire rack or Discount Tire Direct will clear the calipers? Her car has optional 15 inch rims. I wish to put a 165-70 snows on the front to get better force/unit area (µN/cm2) at the contact patch.

Thank you for helping,

No shunting is required. The two wires we are disconnecting are both 12 V analog signals which the ECU is pulling through A to D converters. We shouldn't be able to pick up enough noise to cause a false signal detection.
