Do the H&R Sport Springs of an 09 c300 4matic sport fit the 2012 c300 4matic sport?

2010 C350 Sport
I just picked up a set of H&R Super Sports for my 2008 C300 4matic.

i plan on putting some 19" rims on, here are the specs-

19x8.5 Front with a 43mm offest
19x9.5 Rear with a 53mm offset

The tires will be-

235/35/19 Front
265/30/19 Rear

Anyone else running these springs with this combo? Will I rub with this setup?

Thanks

I was told by others and Tire Rack that I could. I believe there are others running them.

Am I wrong?

question to everyone out there. i currently have hr sports in my room waiting to be installed. but im also waiting on my rims. my rims are 19x 8.5 and 19x10. if i ran sports with them would it give me a flush look or a little less than stock. if i ran ss would it give me more of a stance look or a tuck look? help is needed thanks!

You already have them ordered? They usually ask what offsets you want when wheels are custom ordered. You might want to call and ask because you don't want it delivered and when you test fit, they sink or stick out like a sore thumb.

My previous setup was really, really close to what you're going with and it never rubbed. Your front wheels will stick out 4mm more than mine did but I think you won't have any issues.

anyone on supersports have rubbing issues with a fully loaded car? I've got them sitting in my room right now for my fiancee's car but debating if I should exchange for the sports instead. I've got 18x8.5 +45 vmr's with 225/40/18 nitto invo's on right now with a 3 finger gap, the car is my fiancee's daily and she often needs to drive her family members and/or they swap cars.

she will have no rubbing issues with a fully loaded car. i have had 5 people in my car with no problems. your wheels are very close to oem amg which i what i am running right now, so i'm confident you will be fine.
