The most common wheel size is 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. The tires are 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. I am running these now with 10mm spacers all around and have no issues with the fenders. I do rub a bit against the front plastic fender liner on tight turns. That's probably because of the combo of the 10mm spacer, 235 tire, and being lowered on PSS9's.

To clear the bbk, you need to look at the size of the rim and the offset of the rim. For example on the AMG 6 pistons, your rim need to be at least 18" not the 17" stock. As for the offset of the rim, I would think you need at least 30 offset to be safe. It all depending on the rim "spokes" design i guess because, mine 19x8.5 rim with 35 offset wouldn't clear my stock front caliper.

Any type of lowering would affect the camber. You could install a camber kit to help out but might have a problem with squeaking. Salty and I both had that problem. I ended up taking the kit off and haven't put it back on. The camber really isn't that bad. I ran the H&R's with the setup you want to run and had no rubbing.
Eibach springs lower 1.2" all around and give you an even drop
H&R springs lower 1.4" front and 1.3" rear. It will look lower in the rear than the front.
