thanks bro

 

Really? I'm running 19X10.0 ET 32 w/ GS-D3's and don't have any outside rubbing issues.

 

drex's car FTW

 

wow...thats really strange..

HRE told me the exact specs of the wheel too..

could be because of the 3" lip in the rear

 

Hmmm...I wouldn't think that the 3" lip would make a difference if the offset is really 31 in the rear.

Are your fenders rolled from factory like a lot of the 2004.5+ models (SS and AMG)?

 

HRE does release the specs of the wheel...its even on the wheels!

number on the back of wheel: R8A19P316530

stands for 8 series wheel, 19", 31 offset, 6.5" inner barrel, 3.0" outer barrel

not sure, but i think fenders are rolled. i looked under there and its not a "L", its a "V".

i'm going to roll it more anyways.

hope the 255 tire will fix the problem..i really hate rubbing!

 

Wow, that's so odd.

The 255's should cure it. Is the rubbing heavy or slight? If it's rubbing on the inside liner, it should be alright, but if it's rubbing on the fender, that's obviously something that could be loud, annoying and cut into your tires.

Well, hopefully it'll get resolved. Sorry to hear the issues. If I think of anything else I'll post it up.

 

rubbing on fender

sucks cause it's not even dropped yet. but i guess the rears are pretty low already

 

hey Rlee, rides lookin hot, cant wait till u drop it Could be the offset on the rear is not right which could be causing the rubbing? because im running 265/30s t1r's right now

old pic... im kind of slammed, and 0 rubbing @ all and my fenders arent even rolled

 

robert,

based on your pic, are those wheels from the W209 CLK500 or 55? because those 19x9.5 looks like they are just flush with the fender. If the HRE made them correctly they should go in slightly more.

 

they were made for a C32 with extra BBK clearance.

 

Regardless, car's looking pretty hot there. Can't wait to see it conservatively lowered .

 

Actually, bro, your car much like a lot of the 2004.5-Present Sport Sedans are already factory rolled in the rear. That wasn't common knowledge until sometime in late 2005. They're not rolled as much as they can be, but they are factory rolled.

 

I always say "if your ain't rubbing you ain't low enough" Just get the fenders trimmed/rolled. Fender modification is a must if you want that perfect stance.
I think this should be taken to the "Official Aftermarket Wheel thread"

 

Damn!!! everyone have their Cars looking Great i love the new Wheels migg i would love to get me a set of new 18" but am think engine Mods first at this time.

 

you should paint/powder coat the spokes of your rims a medium grey and leave the lip and bolts silver... i think it would look really good on your car and would save you the trouble of getting new rims.

 

why 18s...buy mine...haha

 

i dont think i will buy 19" anymore not in NY they bent to fast.. believe me frank if the street was nice out here i would of gotten them off you..

and i was thinking of powder coating these that i have on right now. i wish i could get the lip to a chrome mirror finish.

 

front mount: yea seriously. was the first thing i saw when i looked passed jose's ride.


small wheels: "they 10's but I keep em clean though" ha! dont make fun of the 18's!!!!!
