Tired rubbing on fenders
Hello recently put on after market 19' x 8.5 rims on my 2011 c300 4 matic. The tires I put on are AZENIS FK453 summer sport tires. Size 245/35/19. Over large bumps the front two wheels rub the fenders. Any suggestions on my next course of action. I'm not quite sure of the best solution. Thanks

Ah, I doubt it.
Where did you get the rims?
Offset is distance from centre the hub face sits.
You sure they are rubbing fender liners and not any suspension?

The rims are definitely all the same.... They are an after market amg replica rim. They are definitely a positive offset just not quite sure of the exact measurement. Definitely rubbing on the outside I can hear it and before I got the fenders rolled it caught and bent out the fender. The rear is perfect no issues.

Offset makes all the difference. It should be stamped on the wheel itself, it should also be on your invoice or the product details of wherever you bought it. Other than that, 245 tires are pretty wide for the front, going 235 may help.

The issue as well is that not enough offset is much harder to deal with than extra, and if he's rubbing on the fenders there's not much you can do if it's an offset thing..
Hoping for your sake bud that it's a tire issue! 235/35ZR19 should fit much nicer...
