This is one of my favorite looks. Do you mind giving the wheel/ tire sizes and offset? Currently trying to find tires for my setup and like to know what is working for others.

My Mercedes C400 lowered on Vossen VFS1 airmatic
First of all, thanks to VIC VIPER for all the tips.
Here is my car lowered with lowering links + airmatc on my C400
This is "sport+" setting, in comfort it raises about 1/2 inch.
In my opinion, installing the links is one thing, but you really should get someone with Xentry to calibrate and ensure that the sensors are all in range so you do not get any errors and everything is level and perfect.
Took many hours to fine tune it on a level surface but the results are amazing.
Still need to be careful around speedbumps.

I'm glad it came out how you wanted it
That car would be totally undriveable the way you have it in the posted pic ... Where I live in the suburbs of Chicago

Very nice!
Is this stance possible with a non air suspension C400?
And any rubbing with the 20s?
Thanks!

not sure if this "look" is avail on non airmatic, i guess until we see more offerings from KW, H&R, eibach we'll find out.
Currently I have not rubbed on regular or spirited driving, however around speed bumps, driveway entrances i tend to go slow and on angles so I am careful.

Looks great!
Notice that you are in Toronto, certain tire size combinations don't exist here in the US, thanks for sharing the tires sizes but could you also share what Brand tire you used?
For those of you wanting to go up on the 4 matic and use the right aspect ratio, the sizes you used are about a 1/2" smaller in OD over the stock 19, so this might be a little forgiving with the concern for rubbing, but I think the need to lower the car will be a major must since the gap is already a strong complaint for most and with the shorter tires at 25.6 compared to the 19" factory @26.1, this is a great example for everyone to gather info.
Knowing the tire brand will be extremely helpful.
I was able to locate using a Pirelli combination with a 235/30-20 (OD 25.6) with a rear 285/25-20 (OD 25.6) which should be a precise match for the 4matic and 2wd W205's running a 8.5/10x20 combo.

my setup is technically not proper spec/diameter need to go up a profile
however it is within 3% difference
265's are prob better
