C300 stock wheels no longer fitting, grinding sound
I have a 09 C300 that I am recently taking back to stock. Originally I had after market rims/tires and suspension. I went to put the stock wheels back on last night and came across a problem. The wheels are in the right position as far as 245/40 in the rear 225/40 in the front but I can hear something grinding when it rolls. Almost as if I need a spacer? A little confused as these are my original stock wheels. Anyone else ever had the same problem? Or know what I'm doing wrong??

first thing I thought too, i've tried both just to be certain
I'm stumped. Only thing I can think of is that I left these stock wheels (w/lugs) at a buddies shop. I'm wondering if they are lugs off of another mercedes...would that even make a difference?

bolts should be 14mm X 1.5 X 1.1" (27mm) for regular C-Class. R14 ball seated. this is 100% correct. just done yesterday (12.5.12). Pep boys carries them for about 25 bucks, the dealership charges 125...typical.
if you use lugs that are even a few mm's too long you will destroy your ebrake within a few miles at high speeds.
