RareAMG, your car looks hot with those wheels. I loved them when they were on Franks car and they look great on your car. They good well with the color of your ride.

I'm having the same problem with 265s that I just went to. They are rubbing on the drivers side only. I was just at an autobody place and the guy seemed to think he could roll the fender enough to give the clearance. Looks like some of the plastic might have to be shaved. I'm taking the car in late this week so I'll let you guys know.

That's funny I rub more on my passenger side. I heard most MB C-Classes have this problem. I hoping to have it fixed by tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

Roll your fenders, its not a big deal. BTW - Have you considered KW's or PSS9's?

I had the same problem with the passenger side. It has to do with the alignment. I had the fenders rolled and the alignment done at a place in sac if you want to know the place let me know.

It was about 280.

I was told the rubbing could be caused by the new offset and my camber arms not being properly adjusted. I will find out tomorrow.

Rubbing issue fixed. Went down to a 255/30 toyo tires. Runs great!! Tires still look wide.
