HELP! 22" Wheel Modification
Hallo von Charleston, SC
I recently installed 22" Mandrus wheels, noticed the front left tire hit the upper control arm when I drove over a pot hole. How do I increase the clearance between the tire and upper arm?

No one is going to tell you. But you could shave the bolt stud off like a 1-2mm. Thats all you can do.

I dont believe those will help your situations. Also I would avoid spacers on the front wheels at all cost.. From experience,even the precision hubcentric ones may introduce vibrations.

If you are getting links this may be of interest to you. Hope you didnt pay for it yet. https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...-lowering.html
