New Wheels! HELP!
I purchased new 18x8 front and rear OZ Wheels for my 08 C350. Im going to lower it and want to use spacers for the flush look...what size should i use since im down sizing in the back and upgrading in the front. Any help? I dont want anything crazy, just a clean flush look. Im also not sure if im going to use the eibach springs and use smaller pads or just stick with the SS H&Rs. Which has better cornering? Any help

gimme some detail on what look u want.....
u looking for a stretched stance look or just a flush profile, or maybe tiny stretch
u want max width or a clean modded look
how low u plan on going, looking for a slight mod w handling or max low via springs
didnt see the size til now, im guessing you wanna be able to rotate and use the same size F+R?

I don't want to stretch, just a flush stance, performance above all else, I like the look of the H&R SS but I don't know if it'll be too low...I also liked the eibach springs with the 5mm pads...I want it to still be drivable, I have 3 newhews, all 6ft 200-240lbs...I don't want to be hitting the floor lol the tires that are Recommended are 225/40ZR18 so what do u Recommend? I was planning on just keeping the recommended tire size bc I want a comfortable ride with maximum performance. I wanted staggered wheels but the ones I purchased didnt come with that option...they only weigh 19lbs each so I sacked the look for weight.

You really can't have both in your case given your nephews sizing. I would say get Eibach or H&R sports. For your offset question, I'm personally running 18x8.5 +33 in the rear and +35 in the front on SuperSports with no rubbing, then again it's my wifes daily driver and we don't usually carry passengers and when we do not as tall or heavy as yours. Also note that the front is farther out from the fty already which is why I have went lower offset in the rear to flush all 4 corners.
