help me with wheels problem
i installed 19 inch brabus wheels on my c200k
but the problem is the wheels are very wide for my car
they are out of the fender by 2 inches
the size of the wheels or 19x9.5 for rear and front i think is19x8.5
and my problem is the rear wheels are touching the fenders
what can i do to avoid touching ??
i need to lower the car also because its higher than before

uh oh 
where did u buy your wheels from? was it online?
go back to the website. ur same wheels.. and look for "offset" or "ET".. there should be a number with a + sign.
Judgin by width seems like your in the VERY low 30's or high 20's... my guess.... 27.. let us know.

Did you buy them through brabus or a shop? Or did you buy them second hand? If through a shop, I'd take them back cause your offsets are way off if it's 2 inches outside your fender and there's no way you can fix that (short of widebody). Basically the wheels you got are not the correct spec for the car. You can't just look at width and diameter when fitting wheels. And if the car is sitting higher than before, that's probably cause you went with larger size wheels without going lower profile tires.
