Occasional rub in the wheel well when driving over pot holes or bumps
I have 20-in rims and I noticed the tires will occasionally rub on the inside of the wheel wells when driving over big bumps or pot holes. I assume this is simply life with the larger wheels? What is it like with wheels larger than 20s? Also - is it worth having someone modify the wheels well lining to avoid the rubbing?

If i remember correctly, you are running 255/35 and 295/30 on 20&40 offset?
Ive had a hell of a time getting 245/35 to work correctly.
Some pictures of the rubbing location will be a huge help. Also what brand tires are you using?

Yes - Michelin Pilot Sport 4S: Front 255/35/20, Rear 295/30/20
Wheel offset: 20 front, 40 rear
It does not rub during normal driving; but I hear the tires scrape the inside of the wheel well when driving over unusually large bumps - mostly on the freeway.

Bro two things that can help you.
1. Change the PS4S tires to Michelin PS K1. I've been through this as HarryTAM knows, PS4S are taller than usual tires. It makes them a bit more comfortable to drive on but gives rubbing issues.
2. Try using 245/35/20. I couldn't get 245/35/20 PS4S to work on my CLS. But if 255/35/ works for you than 245/35 should fix your problem.
