I have 18"X10" rims on the rear of my 97 E420 and they rub with 4 people and luggage when I hit big bumps, anyone have a solution?(other than smaller rims)


thanks

Do you have stock suspension?
18x10 is little too wide.
Combination of rolling fenders, changing to stiffer suspension may help.

 

That's sometimes the downfall of rims and things that alot of rim shops never tell you before you buy the rims. The fact is that sometimes when upgrading rims (as mentioned earlier) may take little more work than slapping on a big pair of rims and calling it a day. Also a stiffer suspension with large rims probably means a stiffer bumpier ride. 18X10s, where did you get em? I rarely ever hear about those. Most of the times it's 18X8 through 9 and a half. Cool nice rims by the way

 

The rims were on the car when I bought it. Yes it has stock suspension. The fenders are rolled.


Thanks for the input

 

rubbing sound like you need to put the people on a diet. no there is nothing you can do about this there is just to much weight in the car.
