KW's tucking fronts ..........
had these for a year and since I read that so many C55 owners have problems with coilovers I thought I'd share my knowledge.....
the only problem KW has is they have longer springs compared to Billstein or H&R so what I did was ordered a set of front H&R coilover springs from my buddy out of Germany and had them powder coated KW yellow,the lowest you can run them on stock wheels without any sort of spacer before springcollar touched was 12 spin up from bottom which equaled tucked front tread on a 225/40/18 OEM Pirelli
heres pics of my Dunlop SportMaxx 215/35/19 at the same drop how well it tucks and I still have a inch more to or 12spins to go down

Looks awesome dude.
I think you could get away w/ 225 if you just roll your fenders and use SPC bolts to straighten out your camber a bit, but tucking & stretching the 215 looks awesome.
