'14 CLS 550 New Wheels & Tires Plus Progress of Build!
 

Hello All!!!

I just wanted to share the progress on my "build" thus far and the things ive done altogether and over the past few weeks!

I did have a question about tire rubbing, though:
the other day I had 3 passengers and the suspension was on sport and I heard rubbing while on the freeway so I switched it to comfort and it went away -- I also have rubbing when I'm reversing and the tire is turned all the way left. Anything i can do to fix these instances?

Build so far:
-OE Tune
-UPD Cold Air Boost Kit
-Tint (5% in rear and i believe 15% or 20% in the front)
-Debadged
-Clear side markers
-MB Projector Logos
-Resonator & secondary cat deletes
-Rohana RC 10 Matte Graphite 20x10 5x112 33ET in rear and 20x9 5x112 25ET in front
-Continental DWS06 Extreme Contact Tires 285/30ZR20 in rear and 245/35ZR20 in front
-Chrome delete on door handles, window sills, grill minus the star(which i love btw) and the rear chrome accents
-I have LED reverse lights but taking everything out to do the job has me feeling a bit reluctant to do it

What do y'all think? Thinking of getting a ceramic coating to correct some paint flaws and make it really shine but aside from that I think I'm done unless of course I go stage 2..

NIce. Did you end up having ANY clearance issues on the front wheels?
John

I'm rubbing in sport suspension mode on the freeway with passengers in the back and when reversing and the tire is cut to the left as well as slow turns to the right..

thank you!!

Do you know what area is the tire rubbing on?

I meant the front wheel hitting the caliper with the +25mm offset. Remember, I have the same wheels in 19" and had an issue.

Oh man, that's a big list of mods, sux about the rubbing though.

ahhh yes... no my calipers clear the spokes thankfully... its actually one of the first things i checked based on your situation... i do hope to get this dumb wheel well rubbing fixed, though. while it isnt a huge issue, it is an annoyance..

meh.. its still no AMG haha
