I have bilestein sport shocks all the around, with h&r springs. I have 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. I have #1 pads in the front and #2 in the rear. Car sits perfect, no gap between tire and fender. You can go with #1 pad all the way around, I had that setup on my other CLK, it will not rub or anything, but the back will be lower than the front.

I wouldn't put 1's in the rear. mine has 4 now (but w/ 255 tires) and it's not bad. I might put a 2 in when I put 265's on it next time around.
