I have a 2016 Mercedes Benz C450 AMG. I have cracked four of the factory rims, and decided, when I cracked the fourth, to replace the wheels with Rohana RFX15s. I ordered a set of Rohana RFX 15s with Nitto NT555 G2 tires (entire specs below). When they were mounted, the technician reported that front wheels were locking up because they don't clear the control arms. Anyone have any experience with this that can offer guidance?
Also attaching a few photos that approximate what I am trying to accomplish. These are photos of the same wheels on a W205 C63. When I sized the wheels on Fitment Industries site, the indication was that these wheels would work, so maybe there is some kind of work around needed to fit them? I did expect to possibly have to adjust the camber of the wheels to fit them and to match the photos, and I did mention that to the tech, so not sure where we're going wrong here.
There’s a wheel fitment thread on here that will go over a ton of info.
you may get an answer here but u may also get a lot of “do some research on the forums first”

What size factor wheels did u have?
20 are big not a lot of guys running them but it can be done
The factory tires were 40Rs but I went down to 30Rs to compensate for the increased wheel diameter. I did do enough research to figure out how to calculate the total diameter of the wheel based on the wheel and tire size and checked that math multiple times. They should fit, diameter wise, in theory, it was just the offset/control arm contact issue that prevented them from working the first time they were mounted. Now I'm just concerned the spacers will push the wheel out too far into the inner lip of the fenders. Might be able to compensate for that by a slight camber adjustment. I did also ask Fitment Industries if they'd swap my wheels for the 25mm offset ones. We'll see...
