Will 19" wheel fit stock C320

Wondering if anyone has 19" wheels on stock suspension C320.
I really do not want to lower the car.
Anyone got pics?

It will fit as long as you stick to max 8.5 width in the front and 9.5(maybe 10 w/spacers)in the back. I believe you will also need to roll the fenders. As for not dropping it, that's ok if you don't mind the new "lifted" look you will have. Btw what rims are you getting???

Don't know yet what wheels I want.
Maybe going to get 18" wheels so I don't have to roll fenders.
I'm just worried about rubbing.

I don't mind lowering the car as I had lowered my BMW.
What springs will work with stock shocks and feel like the factory ride?
I used the H&R sport springs on my Bimmer with stock shocks but had to put on a camber kit because of the uneven wear on tires.

I have the H&R's w/stock shocks and the ride is ok. Just a little bit more bouncy than original. The best ride handling I've heard is from the Carlsson coilovers and Evosport sway bars, as soon as I'm done w/some other things I will switch to this combo too. B4 I forget, the back looks significantly lower than the front when you drop w/H&R. It does seem to "butterfly" a little from the rear. Also if you have family or if you have a g-friend that really isn't too into the mod scene, save yourself the trouble and stick w/18's. But hey, it's your life

Which H&R springs do you have?
Is it the sport or race springs?

H&R is a better way of going if u drive hard,and like taking corners,but if u want to be as close as possible to a factory ride with the origanal spring go with a eibach(pro-kit)they go for $250-280 for the set of springs just depends on where u buy them,and i have seen good deals online also
