Your lowered CLS/rolling fender?

Are you experiencing your front tire rubbing against your fender when turning or going over bumps?

Seems like the inner fender will snag on the tire, I'm considering rolling my front fenders.... what are your thoughts?

I rolled mine and no more rubbing of most turn, but I do see minor rubbing on U turn and when going fast trying to enter a driveway...

i suggest rolling them now, but they get snag and bend outward.. happens to mine before !!!! had to get my fender straighten out afterward...

The car was not designed to ride that low with aftermarket wheels anyway, so rubbing does not mean that the offset is wrong.

I see your posts all the time and had no idea you were local. I'm not a fan of dark wheels but im sure they look awesome on your car.
