Wheel Fitment hitting control arm on C43?

I got the Vorsteiner VFF 112s with the specs 19x8.5 et 30 Fronts and 19x9.5 et 46 Rears for my 2017 C43 Sedan, completely stock. I thought that an et 30 would fit after going through many wheel fitment posts. Anybody know whats wrong with these setups or if anybody has the same issue?

Check the specs stamped on the actual rim. There’s something not right with the rim you’re trying to put on the front. 19x8.5 +30 should not be touching the control arm.

8.5J ET30 rim edge will not rub the arm unless the rim itself is not up to spec.

Yup, something not right with your wheel. ET30 confirmed fit. Get a refund, if not, spacers...
