I am using 20x9.5 +50 285/25/20 Michelin PS2 on the rear.
The car is rubbing like crazy on the right hand size. Left rear has much less issues. I cannot find someone who is competent enough to roll the fender for me. I was told it is not only the problem of the rear fender but the rear bumper is hitting also. Do you think the problem would go away if I change the rear tyres to 275/25/20?

The shop has to figure out where you're rubbing...they can generally tell just by looking inside to see where the tire marks are. The other thing is we have no rear fender to roll. Last thing, I think you might need to get 275/20/20 or try 285/20/20. I wish I can tell you what's on my car, but I clearly don't remember, and my car is at the shop.

michelin ps2 are wider tires than most brands. Try toyo tr1 or vredestein in the same size, they have a round shoulder.

Btw, jae duk, what size rears are you running in the rears?

Jae Duk

20x10" wheels
Tires are 275/xx/20
xx could be between 20-30 (don't remember and the car is at the shop)

Do you think it is possible to grind down the inner lip of the fender and rear bumper? Repaint with anti-rust agent?

Jae Duk

Honestly I say it's too much trouble if it's possible (I don't know if it is possible). If it was me I would sell the tires since they're brand new, then just go buy rear ones that will fit.

simonlam168

Since my car is rubbing on the right hand size. Left rear has much less issues.
What if I adjust more netgative camber? Especially -2 degrees?

patboyy

lots of people using 275, shouldnt be any issue for that.

They don't make 275/25/20. 275/30/20 will work but is going to raise up your rears a full inch. 25.6 inch for 285/25/20. 26.5 for 275/30/20

still dont understand y people try it - theres enough posts out there thats state 285 rubs. If even one person said it rubbed I wouldnt do it.

For what its worth I have 275s and they dont rub, nor have I heard of any 275s rubbing (toyo t1r)

Even Money

another reason not to run 20"

Maybe you coulda had been better with 285 on 19" but on 20s.... Good luck

My shop told me that our rear camber is non adjustable. What I did was shave 2 mm's off the inside face of my rims which helped. I also repositioned the fender liner. If you look closely your tires are rubbing the back inside of the finder liner. On the driver side I also shave a few mm's off the mounting bolt on the fuel line bracket because when you raise the car on the hoist the tire rubs it as well.

I am running HRE 20X10 and 20x8.5 Michelin PS2's 285/25 245/35
No rubbing at all now. Just takes a bit of work.

If you shave the rim dont forget to cut the wheel bolts accordingly too as they will be too long.

simonlam168

Thanks for your info.

I am running 20x9.5, not 20x10. Do you think i dont need to shave 2mm's off inside of the rims?

BTW, did you have your fender and rear bumper rolling?

AMG ME

Im sure it would help. There is really no fender to roll on C63's. Go out and look at it for yourself. Its much diferent then bmw or other car's. Also the paint will crack if you roll it because the area is just too thin.

simonlam168

So you did not have your fender and bumper rolling right?

AMG ME

Nope. Can't roll the bumper either cause its made of plastic.

Here's a quick pic

c63canada

who sold you the wheel and tire combo???

did they say that it would fit?

simonlam168

Thanks !! I will have camber ajustment later today. Hopefully it will solve the problem.

are u chinese from hong kong as well?

simonlam168

Wheel Boutique.


They told me there would be no rubbing issues on this set of wheels.

c63canada

If they said it would not rub and It does obviously, have them take care of their mess.

they sould pay for 275 tires and if it doesn't worlk out put some new 19 inch wheels with some 275s. At THEIR expense obviously.

Don't go bending, rolling, cutting this or that. just put wheels and tires that fit IMO

simonlam168

I will contact them later

simonlam168

Shxt!! no luck!!

Still rubbing

Jae Duk

Time to step down to 275s. It was a pain in the *** to get tires. I went with Falken. If you want to wait until next Thursday/Friday I can post exact tire measurements etc.
Honestly I asked the shop, can I get 285 after I put on 275. They say no way in hell will 285s fit.
