So I have 19x8.5 fronts on my 01 CLK55. I've had it lowered for about a year now, and was previously running 235 35 19 Toyo T1-R. Never had any rubbing in the front. The BF Goodrich KDW G-force tires are killer b/c traction/performance is great. Unfortunately they are significantly larger than the Toyos I had. So be aware of this if you consider these tires. The 265 30 19's in the back are meatier than most as well.

The weird part is that it rubs more going in reverse than going forwards. Barely noticeable when the car is moving forward with the wheels cut, but in reverse it is pretty loud. Directional rubbing seems strange, but maybe its the way the tire hits the fender lining?

Any ideas or suggestions?

i had the same experience with the Gforce KDWs they rubbed with 235/35 19s.

Luckily, i was able to reject them on the spot and go with another brand.
