Anyone has 20's wheels and installed H&R springs?

I have a set of 20's wheels, and decided to lower my car with H&R springs yesterday. But the result makes me rly down, the drop at front is alright, but the rear is really low, I cant even fit my little finger into the gap and i can barely drive my car from the back of the shop to the front. (its rubbing already)

What can I do if I still want to use the springs? Changing a coilover is not a option to me yet.

Mine was the same, but has evened out a bit. I wouldn't say it's EVEN, but the front is lower, and therefore seems more in line with the rear. Here are the most recent pictures of it: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-c...pe-dipped.html

Those are 20" wheels as well. The rubbing you hear, is most likely the fabric like wheel well liner in there. At least that is what it was for me. I don't hear anything anymore unless I hit a big dip.

I don't recall my offsets, but I do remember them being in the mid-40s. Though, I'm running 9" wide in front (with 3mm spacer) and 10" wide in back. 10.5" seems like it might be too wide? I'm guessing if you add the spacer, it probably pushes the tire out to where it will rub against fender.

You could just not use the spacer and cut sections of the wheel well lining out if that is what the tire is rubbing against.

I'm not expert on this subject though, just thinking out loud.

Your rims in the back are too wide.

You do not have a correct fitment for the rims as well for the tires!
