Putting H&R lowering springs in need advice
I’m ordering some H&R lowering spring for my 2014 c63 sedan if does anyone know how low I can drop the front and rear and still be able to use the -235/35/19 front and 255/30/19 - rear without any rubbing or mods to my fenders ?? Thanks everyone

If you're using H&R springs with stock wheels, it'll fit those tires no problem. I'm currently running 235/40/18 and 255/35/18 with a 12mm spacer in the front and 10mm spacer in the rear and have zero rubbing issues.

Shouldn't be an issue. I've never heard of people running into problems with 19's. If you haven't already I'd suggest you do your research and be prepared to spend some money on camber correction after you lower your C63.

Yup already well aware apparently you gotta get camber adjustment links or a complete coil over system to adjust it as the rear is non adjustable from Mercedes Do you know of a good place to buy the parts ?

I didn't need any camber adjustment in the rear, as it was still acceptable, but YMMV. The front will definitely need correcting.

I´m running std oem 19" with 235/35 tires in front and 265/30 rear, combined with H&R 20mm loweringsprings, no problems.
I´m about to fit 5mm spacers in rear and 5 or 8mm in front, it will still not rub.

You may have trouble with those size spacers as they will not have hub-centric rings and your wheels will no longer center on the OEM hub centers as the wheels will be spaced out too far. This will generally lead to vibrations starting at about 65mph depending on the hub face of your wheels you may get away with 5mm spacers. My experience is 3mm spacers are about the most you can run and still have your wheels center on the OEM hub centering rings. The hub centers on our C63s are 8mm high and the minimum spacer width, with a built in hub centering ring, you can run are 10 mm. A lot of people run 10 -12 (maybe even 15) mm spacers front and 10 mm rear. Not exactly sure of the fitment with a 265 on the rear but you might still be able to clear. There are a lot of posts on here and I am sure one will have that combination and explain if they fit or not and rubbed a little.
