I LOVED the way it looked, but to me it's embarrassing having a Mercedes and then when people are in it, you have to explain why it makes all these funky noises all the time.

Try replacing the rear shims to the next thickness up or +1 dot.
Then you can roll the fender lip next. Worked on mine. Also check the offset.
anything less than 30mm is not good. Typically, range should be between 40 and 32mm offset. I use to have 35mm offsets, but with the new rims I got, it's 30mm, so I'm getting a little rub now and then with a full load of passengers.
