I've recently added H&R spacers to my C63 with stock 19 multi-spokes and stock height. My ride is flush now and sexy and all; but after 2 days I m starting to feel roughness and rubbing sound when turning into higher entrances like entering plazas or apartments. And also once going moderate speed through some rough bumpy roads, I heard a huge rubbing sound in the rears.

My new tires P Zeros have pretty big sidewalls compare to all my old tires, they really stick out more on the rear tires. Could this be the reason? Anyone else have rubbing issues with stock height? Maybe I just need to be super super slow when turning onto higher platforms?

Unfortunately without telling us the size of your tires or the size of the spacers, no one can help bud

Size of spacers?

C-63AMG

I don't get it. If you took a pic of the rear, then the issue you're getting would be from the rear? Rubbing, if when turning on the rear will be on the inside, not the outside. If you're using spacers, it shouldn't rub on the inside unless you have something stupid on there like a 295.

What size tires do you have on?

I believe OP is on OEM size but with Pirelli. His spacers size are 10mm in the rear:

To find out where u r rubbing, just put armor all on ur rear tires & drive it for a day or two. Then look for armor all or tires mark on ur rear fenders. It will show u exactly where the rubbing comes from.

The other thing could be the length of ur lugs being to long or too short.. What size r u using? Is it a clicking sound? Most ppl are using 40mm like myself, but a member just posted that 40mm were too long for his car with 10mm.

255 and 10mm = 265mm. Shouldn't be rubbing anywhere if on stock height, stock rims and stock tires. The only thing I can think of is what you've said about the lugs being too long.

Roswell

Yeah, it should be ok with OEM size tires.. Maybe I'm wrong, he might be running 265 or 275 Pirelli.

Edit: do u think Pirelli runs super wide?

C-63AMG

They come a little out but on stock height it should be OK. The problem hear doesn't seem to be on the fender arch at all. If he gets the sound when turning, it should be coming from the inner tire side not the outer tire side. So I am lost cause if running a spacer, the inside is not going to be touching. Unless of course the sound is actually coming from turning up front.

Took it to the shop today to double check everything. Every thing is okay! My pirellis are 265 and that must be the reason for rubbing. they say I need to drive it like its lowered. Need to take every bump at lowest speed or I could remove the rear spacers and run fronts only. But I don't think that will look good. I guess I will just drive with care, the rub is very little not enough to damage my tires.

Roswell

Yep, ur 265 is definitely the reason cuz I'm on 255 & no rubbing even on H&R.

c63addix

yea if it gets more annoying I think ima just remove the rear spacers and leave the 12 mm in the fronts. It should still be flushed, but my only question would it be bad to have spacers in the fronts only?

Roswell

No harm to have spacers in the front only, but it might look weird as u said. In my opinion, at stock height a lil rub on steep driveway won't hurt much, as long as it's not constant rubbing then u should be fine.
