I am new here and if this is the wrong place to post this, my apologies.
I recently purchased a new set of wheels and tires for my 300TE and although a local mechanic urged me that anything up to 20" would fit, they are just too wide. I am having rubbing trouble with the tires and am not quite sure what to do!

Should the wheel wells just be shaved a little and perhaps replace the springs in the suspension?
Or would it be better to simply buy thinner tires (as a last resort I am hoping).

How exactly would one go about widening the wells?

<<See why I am having a problem?

My friend has the same wheels on his lowerd 300ce with no rubbing be he is running a 205/45/17 tire......
Good looking wheels.
