pic of my new s550
hey guys here is a pic of my new s550 its a 2013 with 13k. I just got these wheels put on last week, they are lexani forged lf 712s 22x9 22x10.5 +31 im running 295/225 and 255/30s with minimal rubbing. The back rubs only when I run over big dips in the road. I really want to drop the car but don't want the rubbing how can I take care of this?

The ride changed just a bit from the 19s that I originally had but that was to be expected running such a low profile. I cant complain to much since I dont have much to compare to. IM really cautious when I drive and know my city pretty well when it comes to nasty roads. Does anyone else have the same rubbing issue I have in the rear when the suspension is compressed. Did i get the wrong offsets?

Hmmm. I'm at a 23mm offset rear on my 20's and I had the little "scuff" sound on dips (speed bumps, expansion joints) sometimes. You need to grind out the little tabs that stick out inside the wheel well. Put your hand along the inside of the well right where the bumper meets the quarter panel and you'll feel it. Getting rid of those will probably do it for you. I didn't have to roll.

+1 - That will take care of it.
