car just lowered. will 20's rub?

i just had my car lowered by star diagnostic about 1" all around. i'm thinking of getting some 20's w/ 305's in the rear. do i run the chance of rubbing?

That's a vague question..width and offset of the wheels have more to do with rubbing then actual diameter size.

2005 E 55

unless the cls has more fender clearance than the E the biggest tire that will fit is a 285/25- 20 or a 285/30- 20

305/25/20 will fit but as someone pointed out earlier, it largely depends on the offset.

305 will fit for sure since Carlsoon and many turners are using that in the rear. The major factor is the offset... Also, W211 E and C219 CLS are 2 different fitments. CLS and SL are 1 catergory and E is the other one. Obviously SL and CLS can take a wider rims/tires than W211 E.
