Hi guys,
I bought a set of 20" wheels for my 2003 Mercedes E270 CDi avantgarde. I fitted a set of 245/35 tyres up front. But the thread of the bolt on the top control arm touches the tyre. So I decided to cut the thread off flush against the nut. This then gives it a couple of mm clearance but when the car is put down and I turn the steering the nut touches the tyre still..
What I am thinking to do tomorrow is maybe get a 235/30 tyre on and see if that will free up some clearance. Do you guys maybe know how much clearance is needed for it to be safe?
Thanks guys
