Got some new wheels yesterday!! Also which ones Look better lowenharts or Euro63rs?
I need some help and opinions, well I bought this rims yesterday and I knew that the offset was going to rub in the back because I'm pretty low. The offset is 32front and rear. I'm running 245-35-20 front and 275-30-20 on back nitto. 20x8.5 front and 20x10 on back Here is my question the shop where I got my car lowered told me to go 255-30-20 on back and might need to roll fenders or might not after changing tires. I'm concerned the 255-30-20 is to low and it will look weird. Or I can higher the car 1 inch and keep the same set up.
What do you guys think? Or put my lowenharts back on. Also which ones look better lowenharts or the euro63rs?

do you have a shot of rear fitment from the rear? i run a 245/35 on a 9.5 et35 and don't rub while tucking some tire. is the difference of the diameter between the 275/30 a big difference from the 255/30? is a 255/35 an option?

I will take one. The 255-30-20 I think it will look streched and the side of the lip will kind of stick out. He said 255-35-20 would not help and i will still rub because of how low I'am. The back is 20x10 et32..

looks like you still have a tiny bit of clearance. i assume you already cut off the metal tab, right? i would roll the fender first before trying a new tire size.
raising the car would be an adjustment in the wrong direction, but that's just my opinion. lol

I dont think so where is the metal tab? I'm taking car on monday to roll fenders first then i will see. The guy at the shop said even if i roll the fenders would not be enough because of the et32 back and is too agressive. Thats why he said 255-30-20 and then we will see if we still need to roll fenders. I think the 255-30-20 will be to low and might look funny. I dont really want to raise car eitheir i like the way it sits.. Thanks

the metal tab is right where the rear fender and bumper meet. if you can't see it right away, run your finger along the inside of the fender towards the rear, and you'll feel it. we took mine off with a cut off wheel when i installed my links.

Thanks i will check it out. Is it on both rear fenders or on one side? I will have the shop on monday look at it when i take it. I hope just by doing this and rolling fenders would be enough.

I've seeing people going from 275/30/20 to 255/30/20 because of rubbing issue but on 35mm offset wheels which fixed the rubbing problem , BUT 32MM The only way to find out is by trying , as the S class takes 43mm offset .
