Tyre choice
Hi all,
I got a set of Rays G25 ,F:19×8.5J +45 on 235/30/19 PSS tires, R: 19×9.5J +50 on 265/30/19 PSSs,as my other post mentioned ,they rub when there are 4 or more people onboard and corner on rough roads.
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...adly-my-c.html
One of the members suggested that this is due to the wider tread width of the PSSs.
Tirerack said the front tires has 9" tread width and 10"for rear.
If I change to RE11s ,F:225/40/19 ,tread width 8.2",R:245/35/19,tread width 9",
or PSS F:225/40/19,tread width 8.2",R:255/35/19,treadwidth 9.2" would I fix the rubbing problem?
PS,would anyone know how wide the inner fender lips are on the C ?
Thanks in advance

I visited my tire shop today about this and he said it's a piece of cake to fix, after some hours and some magic tricks, rubbing was solved, just that he won't tell me what he's done to fix It...

The camber of stock suspension can be adjusted? This is also one of the possibility I thought of and the rear wheel does seems to carry more negative camber ,but my ignorance made me ruled out this possibility at first

Yes, stock arms have a certain degree of adjustability, its how most shops make alignments. For those with excessive lowering sometimes special arms and components are needed.
