Question for those running 20" wheels

Just got a deal on a set of 20" wheels and tires. I am having trouble with the upper ball joint stud. The top of the tire is hitting the upper ball joint studs. The back fit excellent. Any one have the same issue? If so how did you fix it? I am thinking about cutting the threaded stud portion off at the nut but I am worried it's not enough room for normal wheel travel. Anyone have any suggestions. I know going back to an 18" will fix all the issues but I really like how the 20's fill the wheel wells.

From what car those 20 inchers came from? Sounds like your offset is off, wheel being too deep in the wheel well. Set of spacers might help.

Came off of a newer e class. Have bought several sizes of spacers. Will try different sizes and report back results.
