Help: New 19" Wheels Rub
#4
Need more info on what you have? What off set and how wide?
Im looking to go 18" and I find it hard to get wheels that I like in the correct off sets. Most of the lower priced aftermarket wheels are limited in their off sets-35-45, the stock 17" MB twin spoke wheels are 7.5" with 47 offset and 8.5 with 58 off set from the info I have so anything much less in off set of wider may rub.
There is a wheel thread here with a lot of great info.
If you cant return the wheels or want to keep them the only thing you can do may be to work on the fender well to help make it fit,

are they rubbing on the inside of the firewall because i do not see where they are rubbing any where along the outside fender. what is the size of the rear tire. and is that the place on ebay where you purchased the wheels?

I'm not seeing evidence of rubbing on the tires but I do hear it when I hit big bumps or corner hard. What does "Rolling" or "Shaving" entail and look like? Anyone have any pics of theirs after doing it? What would it typically cost?
