Question with rim width

Does anyone know if a 9" in the front will work for the C63?
Tire size would probabily by 245 or 255.
The wheels are 18x9 with an offset of 25.
After plugging the numbers in on a offset calculator (http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp) it says that the inner clearance would be 7mm more and would extend 33mm.
Spacers?
Some advise please. Thanks in advance!

9” is a very tough to fit. If the offset is perfect for the rim design, you may find the inner and outer clearance ok but what happens when the wheel is on full lock? Will it catch the front and rear of the fender as you turn without cutting away the metal?

I see you've already started on the fender mods.

I think +25 offset is too low for our front. Your 18x9 might rub the calipers.

Yea 25 offset is way too low. You want at least 45 for the offset
