new wheels with H&R springs question

I bought 19'' Brabus Monoblock Replicas. they are 19x8.5 front 19.5 rear. i went with 225/35/zr19 front, and 255/30/zr19 tires... would this set up be ok if i lower my car with H&R springs. My car is a 2003 CLK500.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
It should fit fine depending on the offset of the rims.

im running 235/35/19 infront and 275/30/19s on the rear currently with hr springs....Tires also play a role too. Some have a rounded edge which will allow for more room ( no rubbing ) whereas some are more squared off at the edge which will rub more frequently on hard bumps and turns. ( does that make sense?)

btw...i got my coilovers sitting here...but so lazy to install them...wanting to lower the front more..(no fingergap)

Coming from a track-oriented car, S2000, I didn't realize people run stretched tires quite a bit.... lol

it is definitely going to depend on your offsets and wheel widths. there is tons of room out back but up front you do have to be careful.

Supafly, do you have stock shocks with your H&R sport springs? I am keeping my stock shocks and installing H&R hopefully it works out ok.
