21 inch rims rubbing

I drive a 2009 CLS 63 and I just bought 21 inch Modulare rims that are meant to fit my car. They have apparently made these same rims for other CLS 55 and 63's. On my car they rub on the bolt and suspension arm and no one can explain why. Any suggestions???

Suspension is stock and the tires are the lowest profile you can buy. 255/30 21 on the front

"No-one can explain why."

The reason is they were never meant to fit an AMG. Don't let the vendor kid you.

I had the same problem with Mandrus - saw their ad in The Star - who swore to me the wheels would fit my CL55. They didn't.

Stick with AMG wheels and you won't have a problem.
