OK so 30 sidewall then. I'm assuming you have some rubbing on the top of the tire going over bumps, or on the fenders while turning?
Also it looks lowered with that Mb avantgarde suspension. I guess it's lower than my sport E.
You should post a pic looking down the side of your car to show those offsets if you have time.
I get a lil rubbing at the front when approaching a dip at high speed. Not enough to worry me but.
tried my best at 90* angle from the top, heres a shot of the front...
And the rear with the lil mud guard (if you can call it that)
Edit: i could be wrong but i think Avantgarde is the the same as the Sport there in terms of height. I went back and fort with my ET when i ordered the wheels but since i dont wanna play with the ride (for now) i decided to go as aggressive as i could with the wheel offset so it wont look like its on stilts when not lowered. It gives the impression of wider rather than taller especially in person.

Non-US Avantgarde (based on your pictures) must be much lower than US Sport. Your car looks perfect - both wheel offsets and absence of the wheel gap (zero need to lower IMHO).

Im happy with the cars height, at the moment. When i get tired of the wheel design and decide for another look, a less aggressive offset to accomodate the coilovers would probably be my next plan but for now, i couldnt be happier with how she sits. Theres a lil fender gap but i dont really mind it.

Thanks for the pic. I like the low offset look without dealing with negative camber issues. Pretty good set up all around.

crikey! these are terrible! all you can see is the ground!
Wow, gorgeous! I have a white wagon, I'd love to know the deets on the suspension and wheels sizes.
the suspension is H&R springs up front and lowering link in the rear. the link are from http://www.airmatic-lowering-links.co.uk/ they dont list a wagon but they are the same links as an E63 which also only has air in the rear. they are not listed on website so email him and he'll respond quickly and in fact they only took 2 days coming from england!!! the wheels are from http://esmwheels.com/ and are 18x8
