We have recently purchased a 300CE that has the suspension lowered with eibach springs

it also has Bilstein shocks.

It also has 17 inch wheels.

Here is the problem.... the right tire is hitting the underside of the fender when you go over certain bumps at certain speeds.. it is barely making contact with the fender

Is there a rubber bushing/spacer that can be placed inside the spring...just to offset a bit of compression..?

or can i resolve the problem by increasing/decreasing the tire pressure?

Our only other option would be to switch the 17's to 16's that we have on our other CE.

Oh this doesn't happen on the left tire.... they both have about the same clearance at 1 1/4 inches.

more likely to happen at speeds greater than 60 miles an hour on rougher parts of the interstate.... very occasionally around town at 40 mph
