this should be in the tire & wheel post

I have the same car w/ h&r cup kit biggest tire is:

front= 225/40 18 or you will scrape
rear = 245/35 18 and you might scrape

H&R kit is definitely lower than regular H&R sport spring...

255/35 should fit without rubbing with the correct offset off-course

Here is my car with
18x8 et 31mm 225/40/18 m and 18x9 et35mm 255/35/18(continental).



I have H&R sport spring with AMG-bilstein shock with thinnest spring pad front and rear. (I cut the front spring half coil, to match the height with the rear one)



Hope this helps

Regardz,
