Move the bumper

forward would make more logic than moving the fenders outwards
I hear the sabre-rattling already
I love these rim and tire threads

Thanks
Sure can. May as well add my flat paint, rusted hood, and plaid headliner to the file as well.

BTW, did you really needed more than one post to say all this?

Nope

however it was so much more enjoyable dragging it out over a long period of time

'97 MB E420 Sport/'88 MR2
Ohlord you sound like you're drunk off your a$$ LMAO...wow.. AHHA..

Either way, you all, my 97's fenders do have the bolts to push them out somewhat. I placed some washers and voila, moved both sides out about 1/2 inch, and it worked! No more rubbing!!! And yes, I did pull the bumper forward as much as possible but still aligned with the curvature of the wheel well. The rims are 31 offset, they're real E55 Amg monoblocks. Thanks all for the suggestions...I am happy now. Now, as far as the actual ride..I might look into bilsteins, much tighter imo on my other vehicles.

EDIT: so after it's all fixed today, the passenger side rear window's regulator gave out DAMN. LOL

Nope

And it rattled so much it broke.
Fix the other side when it vibrates to the point of departure
31et on 18's is amg spec for the fronts and you need more than shocks.

I got 245/35 & 285/30 on a E55 without any rub i think the amg comes with just a little flared fenders, but my car looks a little lowered than the silver one posted
