I think your dealership will step up and take care of the problem under warranty. I would not worry about being charged.

MB does not authorize any 265/35/18 for the rear of the CLK55 so they have no reason to pick up the tab. No AMG wheel upgrade (factory or not) uses that tire size. There is a reason why the C55 and CLK55 (2005) use 245/35/18 in the rear -- MB knows these cars have a rubbing issue with wheel upgrades.

If the dealership put the wheels on the car willingly then you need to go talk to them. If you told them to put them on then you will be SOL. It is fixable so just work through it.

W208 or W209?

What tire are you using?
