H&R kit is definitely lower than regular H&R sport spring...
255/35 should fit without rubbing with the correct offset off-course![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

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![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
