It does seem to sit higher, so I may have to get new springs and lower it, I went from 15 to 16's so thats probably why

LOOKS VERY, VERY VERY VERY NICE.
I DID THE SAME ON MY 1990 190 2.6 AND THE FRONT TIRES ARE TOUCHING THE BUMPERS.
DID YOU DO ANY UPGRADE TO THE SUSPENSION SUCH AS NEW COIL OR SHOCK ABSORBER AS YOU CHANGE THE RINGS???

I WILL THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP..

I didn't touch the suspension and today I was going down some hills and heard a rubbin of metal so I may need ot have it aligned, if thats not the problem then I don't know what it is.

Ask who did what? I think you are referring to the wheel gap, which if you are the new tires does remmove a little portion of that gap, I installed the new tires/wheels myself

Have you done an alignment yet?

No, but it came to mind that it may have something to do with it, but I am not sure.

What do you think?

It sounds like metal on metal, I relate to to the brake pad being shot and the rotor is rubbing the caliper, but it was just inspected this month and the brake wear was fine.

Also, when you are goign down the hill pressure is being force on the front wheels so when you hit the bottom of the hill and start to go up the rubbing happens, then once you are going back up the pressure is gone, it is an up down up down hill sequence, it is a small hill.
