Feeler: WTT HRE 897r's for your wheels.
So I recently bought a set of HRE wheels style 897r from B. Gorman, the wheels are beautiful but my car is lowered and the wheels rub. I want to keep them but since I bought the lowering module I'm not gonna keep the car at stock height, not gonna do it. So....... any body want to trade for a set of 19" or 20" wheels with correct offset so they can tuck when I'm lowered. Let me know what you got. My wheels are in perfect condition so yours should be too. Let me know what you got.
(I like black wheels, all black, or black with polished lips.)![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Here are my wheels.

I knew you planned on getting and ELM installed....but I didn't know you wanted to roll slammed and tucked!!! Now I feel bad man!!! If no one wants to trade you.....ship (just the rims) them back to me and I'll replace all four of your lips with brand new polished ones and drop you to an 8.5/9.5 set-up...which will give you plenty room to slam your car all the way to ground and not rub....guaranteed!!!! (Lips at cost and labor for free)

Yeah, that was with 2" drop in the front, the front actually doesn't rub unless I hit a dip or bad bump, the rear is the problem. I have the rear lowered 1" and there is about an 1/8" clearance between fender and wheel. I raised it up to stock height last night and no rubbing yet.

Just had fresh Vredesteins put on Yesterday, 245/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears. It's not the tires, the wheels were made to fit at stock height. The outside of the wheels sit flush with the fender.
