hi...i have a set of 17x8.5 rims with 35 offset on my 89 300e...the tires that are on there are 215/45/17 dunlop 9000s..with such a wide rim/tire combination, i have about 15mm of tire sticking past the fender. i have no rubbing when i drive in a straight line or when i make comfortable turns..however, when i take the ramp at a quicker speed or when i take a quick turn, there is a small amount of rubbing. my question is: will a fender roll solve the problem, and will the extra stiffness achieved from lowering the car with eiabch progressive springs compensate for the shorter distance from the fender to the wheel..thanks...

Ben

This question is best addressed to Luke and the rest of the gang in Wheels and Tires forum.
