s500 wheels
Does any one know if it is normal for this setup to rub: 2000 s500 with 19" Lorinser wheels and Dunlop sport 9000 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. I have noticed some rubbing sound when i take a sharp turn or when i go over a bump. Do i need to adjust anything?

You are absolutely correct, it rubs on the right rear wheel. I will take the car to shop and have them checkout the wheelwell. Thanks for the info

yea from reading posts on this forum i recall hearing about some of the first s classes having an issue with the right wheel well which would cause a problem with the tire rubbing. all you need to do is have it shaved down a little and you're set. luckily i didn't incur that problem? not sure why. anyway, best of luck to you.
