Fender question...
hi guys,
as we all know, many guys here have wide tyres on their clk.
acebenz, BB, tery, to name a few.
my question is:
i'm having 225mm on the front axle and as you can see in the pictures, the fender can't cover the wheels already. did you guys made modifications to the fender to fit wider tyres on the front? i see many use 235 here.
Cheers!

Do you have aftermarket rims? If so, what's the offset?

haters crazy
I think you mean you can see the tire if looking straight on at it? Thats because the bumper curves in. A carlsson RS front would help a little. I run 235/35/19 up front on a 19x8.5 rim as well.

What offset are u running on the wheels?
looks like to me that u might have the wrong offset, wich it means the rims are not for the car. The correct offset is 35 on our cars for front and rear wheels.
