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?

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.
