'99 C280
I Need Some Help!!

Hey, new to the forum.. I have an issue... i put a set of staggered 18's on my 99 c280. the front were fine but when i went to reverse, my car wouldnt move. i eased on the gas and it still wouldnt move. it felt as if the ebrake was on but it wasnt. its something to do with the back wheels, cuz i drove it with just the fronts to check clearance..anyone know wat it may be?? thanks JoN

Did you get new lug bolts? If not, your lug bolts are probably too long and are sticking through the hub far enough to get hung up on something. Pressing on the gas harder is not the answer, shorter lug bolts are.

depends on the weather
rear lugs are too long ... do not operate the vehicel in that state or it will destroy your e-brake
