Any suggestions..Suspension and rubbing~!
Hey,
Im having troubles with rubbing on my drivers front fender with my tire. Using 18"Monoblocks off a E55 tire size 225/40/18s and suspension is Eibach Springs and Yellow Koni's on the soft setting. Do I need to get a front camber kit? I heard maybe fender pull would do the trick. Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
PS:
Have a SRS lamp on constantly and once in a blue moon ESP lamp will soon.. Bah..Cheers..

Based on your profile you have a C230K. If this is true you will need to roll the fender at a minimum. At least the production of these cars is consistent....I have a 94 C280 with 18" E55 monos and the left front fender rubs as well.

As mentioned above the non amg w202 models dont come with rolled fenders.
I think if you were to roll them and install higher spring pads youd be fine but i run no pads and i have same size in front and i only rub at full lock but its not that bad at all

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I didnt update my profile. I sold my c230k few years ago, and I purchased a 99' c43 a year ago. Only when I hit bumps its scraps off the tire sidewall. Just annoying, didnt do the alignment yet tho..Will try that..Cheers..
