We recently bought the AMG wheels for our S500, and put on some Pilot Sports on the rear. We are starting to hear some rubbing when going over some bumps, anyone ever experience this?

Any advise for fixes?

Thanks

 

What size are your wheels and tires?

 

There was a prior thread on this (as there is on most things). It seems to happen on the passenger side rear. One fix is to have the fenders "rolled" by the dealer. I am going to do it next time I go in.

 

I am also having this problem with 255/45/18 tires, it was chipping paint from the inner fenders. It seems to be OK now that I drive permanently with ADS in very-sporty mode (2 lights on). The offset of my wheels may not be 100% correct (they're Lorinsers from a W140-generation) but nevertheless, I noticed that sometimes, the level of the airmatic suspension can get really uneven. One time the left side can be higher, and other times the right side will be higher. It's a noticeable difference too - i.e. 2 finger gap vs. 3 finger gap. Shuold I get MErcedes to check this?

Also, another possible solution - can the camber on these W220s be adjusted? If so that could potentially solve the problem without rolling the fenders, albeit at the cost of some uneven tire wear.
