Guys, need some quick advise here. I have installed my adv wheels and kw lowering kits. The front is working fine. But I've found the back tyres are rubbing(20x10.5 305/25) because for some reason the kw rear link didn't lower the car. The dealer who install the kit actually used their computer to trick the system on my car to lower 30mm on the back. They also told me they can only set 30mm lower or nothing without using the kw link or i can install the link by not lowering the car. My question is are they doing something wrong here? Or anyone had the same problem? Their recommendation is to round the guard up. But I can see it clearly that the tyres are rubbing inside wall of the panel. Please help!

Here are the photos.



Thanks everyone.

Your offset is too low that is why it is rubbing. If it pokes out, I am guessing your offset is low 20s or high teens... Lowering isn't your problem. Ask them to maybe put the car 2-3mm right above the tire see if that solves it.

Edit: Saw you have '12 CLS, so I wouldn't know the offsets. Maybe ask VIC55

thanks mate

Ponz

anyone can help with my offset please?

thanks

What offset did they give you on those wheels? I need that first but obviously their engineers were way off and on a 10.5 inch wheel which is not even the widest most run on a CLS cars...

Your car isnt even dropped in those pics that much, if at all, and its way outside.

Let me know.

Doesn't make sense that the rear is rubbing, but you say the rear is not dropped. Sounds like your wheels aren't the correct spec.

Offsets are too aggressive in the rear.
I would contact ADV.1 and have them correct the issue.

Great looking wheels btw!

Tried to contact adv about the offset through my supplier. Still don't have any reply after 2 days Which is sad. Anyway I got the rear raised 20mm for the moment. Driving it with a lots of caution. I really don't want to damage the guard. Anyway thx vic. Will let you know once I have the offset.

No reply for 2 days now. I hope to get some answer soon. It looks really good but pain in the butt to clean the wheels. The break dust are just so obvious on the white rim. Don't go for a White wheels unless u have someone to clean them after every drive LOL.

Sorry what I mean is the dealer actually dropped 30mm for me by confusing the on board computer.

It almost appears they used offsets for a C219 CLS55 or 63.... not good.

djrabbi

Yeah that is what I thought till I saw his avatar that says 12 CLS.....

Vic55

Oh i knew he had a 2012...


I wonder how heavy those wheels weigh as well?

Ponz

It feels heavy. Will tried to find out from the supplier.

Vic55

If they are the same set up as Ajag's (member here) you have your set of 30lb plus wheels....

Well if are for w219 let me know how much you want for em.

Ponz

Well, just found out from ADV they are 20x9 et 25 and 20x11 et 29. But I think I asked for 20x10.5 at the rear lol Anyway it look really good to me.

Any recommendation what I should do here?

Thanks all.

Ponz

The supplier told me it should be between 10-11kg. Will have the wheels weight in the next couple of weeks. But 30lb? mamamia..........

S500 Man

Et29 is w219 offset

WhitePano

you can do a 20x10.5 et29 on a 305 tire, vossen and others are using a +30

Vic55

As I suspected they gave you a 219 offset.... Not much you can do except for heavy fender work I would guess at this point. Or if you ordered them new, have them remake the rears.

The fronts are fine.

Ponz

Can't change the offset to fit the car? Thanks vic.
