new wheels, new tires don't fit old brakes
New here and in need of help both Sportmobile specific and general build.
Just installed new BFG AT 265,75,16s on 16" ProComp Retro 59 wheels. These were put on my 2011 E350 that had 16" steel factory wheels. The new rims are dragging on the brakes. The wheels turned without rubbing when I was installing but once i put the van down and started to drive the miserable sound of metal on metal was soon heard. I was quite positive that the wheel size and type I chose was one used on Sportmobiles and many of the E series builds I've seen.
Am I wrong and later E-series builds are using larger rims 17" plus or are rims being modified to fit? I thought this was a no brainer upgrade but its gone south.
Any help would be appreciated.
