2012 w204 cqan not be fender rolled!!
Got the new wheels installed with H&R ss and I hear rubbing when I hit a large bump on the road. Am currently not filling the car full tank gas because am affraid I might rub more.
So I visited my friend shop and I had him checked the rear fender. He said that the rear fender of my car is double weilded on the edge to make the fender structure stronger and can not be rolled or nothing to be rolled. He said the only way was to to slowly hammer the fender and hope the paint would not chip, which its going to be impossible. Another suggestion was to try pulling the fender out slowly.
Am seriously bothered by this. Are the c300 2011 below has the same fender designed? If so how did you all get the rear wheels not to rub?
Any advise would be great.
thanks!
Ill try to get some pictures tomorrow.

That makes sense as most ppl who roll their fenders on Stanceworks are only dealing with rolling the fender lining at most and the metal lip. To do it properly would require bodywork. But I'm curious as to what your suspension and wheel set up is as on my 2010 I'm running 18x8.5 at +33 (225/40/18) on the rear with H&R SS and Bilstein B8 and have no rubbing issues even with a full car.

And no, doesn't feel like drift car, though my friend running Bilstein PSS9's say my set up rides stiffer than his car.
