The main bulkhead and engine compartement side panels where replaced with substantially thicker stampings starting on the 1998 model year to address the structural failures that were observed when running larger diameter wheels on the 1997 model. This was particularly a problem when running larger diameter wheels with sticky compound track tires, but failures also occured on street driven only vehicles. I have no idea of how many failures occured, but I know we have seen atleast two cars with this problem when doing PPI inspections for potenital buyers.
