Is it OK to fit 18X8 and 18X9 on a lowered C320?
I am planning on putting 18X8 Fr and 18X9 Rr, With 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tires, and lowering the car with H&R Will this rub (espcially on a U-turn)?
How about in 4 passenger inside?

D2 Technik had a set of 19" 8.5 front and 9" rear with no rubbing... Think you will be fine...just need to make sure the offset is correct and the overall rolling diameter is the same as stock
