Do you guys have rubbing issues with 19 inch rims?
i was just wondering because my friend said that he did, but he also had a C32 AMG which correct me if im wrong, has AMG suspension.

Me as a C240 owner, would the 19's rub?

thanks in advance

With 19's, it can depend on offset, if your car is lowered, and even the type of tires

I'm on stock C240 suspension and I rub with 19's when I'm turning. The fender lining is almost gone (I turn a lot). I was going to lower my car but having second thoughts.

lowered with 18's and I rub on the fender lining.

I took a blowtorch and reshaped the lining, now no more rubbing.

But like Eric said, it depends on the offset and tires.

When I first got my 19s they rubbed like crazy in the back. I had 19x10 in the back with a 275/30/19 tire. When I downsized to 265/30/19 the rubbing went away. As far as turning goes, in the front right wheel well I might rub every now and then, usually only when going fast or going over bumps though.
