I think the rear looks fine. I'm loving the look, the wheels look great! Congrats!

What kind of tires are those?

Any lower and it would look rice to me. Height looks good right there. Wheels are nice design but a little big to me. They look like 20's???? Wheels with solid center sections look better on S or E class to me.

What really matters is if you like it, not whether we like it or not.

Thanks guys, it's 19's looks big. So you all think the rear is ok?

How about a Brabus Kit?

the rear is fine man! dont worry about it...he's just scared to make his benz stand out thats all. Yours is done clean, nice, and still euro- dtm style. I say keep on the the look that you are going for and DONT do a brabus kit, you already got a set of wheels that are pretty much a one off on c-classes so why take a step back with what the majority of guys on here have as well...keep the new look!

its nice right now.. but if you have the rear tucked.. it would be much better.. but it looks fine now.. but it would look so cleaner tucked and no finger gap up front... you can paint your sidemarkers to get a much cleaner look

I rolled the fenders already but it stills rub when I go over a small bump. What should I do?

how is your fenders like after it's been rolled? IS it flared or just rolled on the inside?

Thanks

Make sure you feel nothing underneath. Rolled and shaved I believe. You should not rub unless you got the wrong offset, I don't rub and I run 10"

Not a clue but when I ordered my set of wheels I specifically said I want them for an AMG c32


EDIT: oops forgot to mention the possibility that your tire could be the problem. Wider 'square' tires tend to cause more rubbing than tires like toyo's etc

well you gotta roll and shave the fenders if that doesnt work.. its prob the tires.. the sidewall is tall.. the tires to go are like the toyos or the falkens GRBs are good when the car is slammd bcus of the sidewall.. if that doesnt work for you.. then the offset of the wheels arent meant for the car...
