I just put on AMG17/7.5 rims with 215/45/17 P7000.<br> When cornering at 50-60mph, the front wheels are rubbing against my fenders.<br> <br> I have recently changed the front struts to KYB but have not change the stock springs?<br> <br> If changing the tired springs is the solution, should I go with stock or Eibach?<br> <br> I have a 1993 190E 2.6. <br> <br> Thanks.<br> James.

If you use Eibach, you will go lower and more rubbing might occur...

Where does it rub ? Outer fender or inner wheel well ?

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    In my 2012 S65 I hit a big pothole and blew out my left front sidewall (sounded like an explosion from inside the car). I replaced the tire, and a couple thousand miles later I noticed significant wear on the inside edges of both front tires. I took it in to the dealer for an alignment and the...

  3. Front brake pads wear and tear question

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    I bought an A-class automatic 10 months ago. Since then I have driven 22K km of which I’d say 85% of this was straight motorway and minimal breaking. I’ve just brought my car in for a service to the garage I bought it from and they told me that after 10 months, my brakes are worn to 90% with...
