Being able to turn and still tuck tire.
I have my C230 lowered with Koni springs and shocks with #1 pads all around. The wheels are 19x8.5+31mm in the front. I am having the hub pad milled down so it will be a +35mm offset. I have a fender roller and will be rolling the fenders. Right now I can't even turn the wheel more than 1/8 of a turn before it rubs on the fender. Is the offset change and rolled fenders going to be enough to get enough steering angle to drive or am I going to need to lift it some. Any suggestion are welcome. I would love to keep it at this height. Rhyi and Ruzhkata how do you roll so low?

lots of cars
Make sure you use a heat gun when rolling the fenders. I would pull them out a little too.. I suggest you just get bigger pads on the front and rear. Something like #2 front and #4 rear.
I'm running #1 pads on the front and stock pads on the rear.

Sorry, but looks like someone stole your springs..... Too low IMO

It's a Mercedes, not a Honda or Chevrolet. I promise I'm not trying to be rude. I just think that Mercedes does a wonderful job with the height of their cars.
