You won't HAVE to pull the rear wheel to charge with the ports at the compressor. I have charged mine without doing that, I can just reach up from a creaper, jacking up the car a bit helps but not necessary.
A friend of mine, has his condenser mounted in front of the passenger rear wheel, came that way from PI. Works but ..... not something I would do on a bad day, not even to the ex-wife. snicker. Fun to watch people try to find it at the shows. Beautiful car otherwise, the silver bullet.
