new wheel/tire rubbing problem, need help.
Ok, went to my local wheel/tire shop to have them put on the new wheels and tires I ordered from them for my C55. TSW Bremma 19", 8.5" up front, 9.5" in the rear fitted with Toyo T1R 235/35F, 265/30R. The problem is, there is something rubbing in the read because I can here this loud staccato clicking sound. It does not match the revolution of the wheel (i.e. it clicks many times per one revolution of the wheel). It is happening on both rears. I have to bring the car back to them in the morning to see if they can figure it out. I can't see any clearence problem with the outside fenders but I think it may be rubbing on the inside.
Anyone else have this problem, I know a few on this board have this wheel and tire combo.
Thanks.

I just put those exact wheels on my C32 on Friday, along with H&R springs. I'm get a strange sound coming from the rear driver side. It only happens sometimes. It sounds like a metal ball rolling around. Any ideas?
I was disappointed by the H&R drop. Even with #4 pads in the rear, the rear is noticeably lower than the front
I with the drop was only 0.75" instead of 1"
Oh well
