Get your fenders rolled.

You could have maybe even gotten rims with wrong offset or too wide of tires in which case, have fun with that...

tylerm

No rims and size are correct ... i thought maybe you guys remove the inner liners?Or alter something.

marthyh

We don't see it either..

Would not touch liners btw.. there is some use for them I assume..

tylerm

I'm just asking if anyone else had this problem... and if so... how did you correct it?

Mike5215

Can you post the following:

Rim widths, rim offsets, and tire sizes?

That would help narrow the problem down.

Looking at 22" wheels for my S500. I will probably choose Mandrus Mannheim 22X9 and rear 22X10.5.

Tyre shop recommended 245/30R22 to front and rear 295/25R22.

Those tire sizes should be fine?

Tobby

I have that Mandrus setup. I'm using 255 in front. Guess that both 245 and 255 will be ok.

Max Gothenburg

Cheers. I saw the pictures of your car. Looks brilliant with those Mandrus wheels. What's your rear tire size?

Tobby

Thanks I'm using 295/25-22.

I am having the same issues. 255/30/22 & 295/25/22 in the rear. I keep getting told about some tabs that need to be removed... But not sure. Only scrubs on dips on the road or highway.

Looking good sir! Love the niche 5 concave 5 spoke. Pure sexy!

jawilliams07

Thank you thank you much appreciated. Ready for that facelift to be done

Yes, that should should do the trick. I rolled my rear fenders and removed the tabs when I mounted the 22"s.

kiddkynetik

Lytton me know how that goes. I'm in the process of wanting to do that too. Was there anything else that you needed to get that installed? Any crazy customizing?

jawilliams07

There is so many threads on it I'm trying to take it one day at a time. Most important I'm am trying to find a body shop that won't charge me out the a** on the price.

What tabs are you talking about can you show us a pic

Mike5215

Tobby do you have a CLS or an S? If it's an S, put your hand up inside the rear wheel well and feel along the seam where the rear quarter meets the rear bumper. It's a tab about 2" long that juts out maybe a half inch or so. On hard bumps that tab can come in contact with the top of the tire.
