wheel issue

[keith_t]

Just change tires today. Same size same brand.... now I have some rubbing sound when my rear shock damp.

Not sure where the problem is.

Mine is a w204 with rear 265/30R19. No problem with the previous sets of tires.

Not sure if wheel alignment is going to solve this.

265... Isn't it abit wide? Or you lowered ur ride?

[keith_t]

Not lowered. Was on 265 before this set of tires... no problem at all

That's strange... Maybe the gurus here could enlighten u..... I'm using 245 19" and I can feel the rubbing when going past flyovers... Still contemplating whether to change back to 18" for some comfort.....

Go back to the tyre shop and ask them to check.

Probably they didnt secure the wheel properly, or did not install the tyres right.

 

FYI I am driving W204 running 265/30/19 for rear, and lowered. No issues

[keith_t]

Thanks. Will be going back tmr.. BTW its just only one side on the right

Don't know your rims offset. Assuming that your previous tyres worked, it could be that your wheel alignment has changed with the tyre replacement.

Went to the tyre shop, was taichi to the workshop....

Apparently there is nothing wrong according to the workshop. Seems like the right suspension has become softer than the left. Workshop owner say its not really a big issue just irritating burring sound when damp too hard. Would not see this prob if its 18" instead.

I am thinking if getting a new set of spring would solve the prob. Anyone knows whats the damage like?

I'm using 19" for my W204 too. The right size for the rear should be 255/30/19....guarantee no rubbing.

Don't think my rim can take 255 unless I have them change rite?

Your rear rim is 10" width? Vossen?
