Yea, you're not gonna get that slammed look with H&R and I believe these are the lowest setting coilovers out there. I don't know the lowering specs for MEGAN, BC Racing, or Ksport however so I can't confirm.
Here's my car on the lowest setting possible with H&R coilovers on 17s

Looking to get some fitment info for these wheels. 18x9 +42 and 18x10 +50. I'm sure it will fit. If I have to, I'll run some negative camber in the back so it doesn't rub on inside the fender. Technically that's not my issue. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the measurement on the holes on the hub where the bolts go in. The wheels are 5x114.3 and I'm planning to run wobble bolts however the holes on the wheels and maybe the holes on the hub as well need to be 16.5mm. Raderwerks who sell the wobble bolts says 16.5mm is pretty standard but hopefully one of you can chime in. Thanks in advance.
Probably going to try out a new set up to go lower. Might do this after I get my wheels.

19s will cost u more than 20s due to cost of tires.
I personally love the way lip wheels with poke looks on sedans. This is the direction I will be going with my w204.

Loonie the thread pitch on these is 14x1.5 for the bolt threads and Im sure of that, I just looked. I will tell you I ran a set of wheels that were off a custom VW and they were right spacing and holes but not hubcentric. I had problems with vibrations and I had the wheels checked twice and re-balanced and they were true. They were 18" step lips looked really wide and nice but were a headache in the end. My experience is if the wheels arent hubcentric and benz spec its a hassle. Cant say anything about wobbles I hear they work but not sure its worth the hassle. There are lotsa wheels out there in 10" rears, worst case find a deal on sumthin and get them powdercoated or painted how u like them. You can also get wheels machined on the hub side to increase offset, I have a brabus set that was +5 now theyre +38 thats how alot of high end wheels makers do it. They have a basic wheel and machine to fit and drill for your specs

These wheels I am looking at ARE hubcentric. I know the thread pitch is 14x1.5. I was actually asking about the diameter of the holes of the wheel hub. I found out the answer though thanks. Wheels are 5x114.3 and I don't feel like re-drilling them. Wobble bolts from all the info I have read online are perfectly fine and people have been running them for a long time.
*EDIT* What tire size should I get for the wheel specs I posted? 225/40/18 and 245 or 255/35/18 like the stock 18 amg tire sizes? I DO have plans for a new suspension set up later on to go lower so keep that in mind.

dasinner it only matters if you lower ur car, stock ride height u can run pretty much anything without problems.
Your tires size really matters when it comes to lower offset wheels, if your in the +50 range u can run wider tires. Anyone who needs tire or wheel advice POST UR WHEEL SPECS with the width, diameter, and offset of the fronts and backs. Thats what matters, not just a question or what tires should I run? we need info to help
