Help: 33” off road tires rubbing on 2019 G63
I put 33 12.5 r22 on the 22” AMG wheels. They are rubbing on the front inside fender well. Any advice? I know 12” wide wheels don’t rub. However the factory wheels are 22x10”.
1” spacers? |
Show us a pic of the contact patch and this will allow us to better answer you. Also, provide the tire make, model and size.

nitto terra grappler 33 12.5 r 22 22x10” amg wheels see pic for rub. Occurs at full turn. Wondering if 1” wheel spacers would help? My guy at the shop mentioned spring spacers, but I’ve heard bad things about the effect on suspension https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...87832114e.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...1b541d90a.jpeg |
Get smaller tires.

I have what looks like 1" spacers that came with my new wheels I didn't use them. I think they are for the G550 4X4 Sq. and meant for larger tires?? not sure if they would help. They are machined in Germany |

Send pics here once completed if you can! Thanks :)

So, I don’t get it. Was the car damaged, or the tire?
|
The rubbing doesn’t harm anything besides the inner plastic fender trim, but it’s just really annoying when it’s on an expensive car and has to be rectified
|
I did some measuring and I don't see how a tire any larger than a 285/55 or 305/50 will fit on these without making contact with the inner fender well liner.
As for the liners, don't CUT them, drill a small hole and run a zip tie through them and pull them away from the contact patch. |

the shop mentioned either trying to heat up the liner and push it back, but more likely doing a trim at the contact spot on the fender lining, and putting black mesh on there for cosmetic reasons

I'd try and avoid cutting it at firs and try my zip tie method as it allows you to adjust the liner. Once you cut...it's cut.
i ordered the g-raid lift springs for 40mm lift - this will take care of it. excited for the final look. going to use wheel spacers for a more aggressive stance then |
