I need help!

Hi everyone! I need some opnions on what to do with my problem. I just put some 20-inch wheels (20x9) in the back and 19x8.5 in the front on my 99 CLK320. Whenever I do a sharp turn somewhere I feel my tires rubbing to the body. I have H&R springs with the original rubber pads that goes on top and buttom of the springs. I am wondering what I can do to solve this problem...any suggestions?

Thanks!

Do you think if I change the rubber pad to i.e. #3 it would help?

The back. the tires are Nitto 255/35. Also, I don't think it's rubbing to the fenders it sounds like the inner part of the tire.

i would also check the offset of the wheels to make sure they are applicable for your car--- you may want to ask one of our experts (eg Harris, Luke from the tirerack) for advice

I talked to the guy I ordered my wheels and he said it was the right offset. I guess I am going to put the stock springs for the rear and see what happens.
