Why me. Help tire rub issue



guys so I just had set of new tires put on my 507 and the fronts are rubbing the strut. The fronts are star spec 245 40 r19, rears 275 .. I read a few people on here were running that size on the fronts.... it tore up the tires already pretty bad( not even 2 miles on them ). Any thing I can do to fix it or do I need to buy a Fing new set of fronts. Why me... lol

Aw dude, that sucks.

You're tires might be done but I'm not a pro so someone else will answer it for you.

Anyway, for future reference you can also post here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w204-93/

Good luck!

Your tire specs are larger than OEM specs. Front tires are a 35 series in the front and 30 series in the rear. The correct spec should be 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear.

What offset are your rims? If your offset is more than 45 and you are lowered it will rub. You can use spacers but that might push the rims further than the fender. I find a 8.5" wide rim awith 45 offset the perfect flush look for the w204 at the front.
