Yes, I have searched, and there ARE a lot of threads, but a lot of them contain conflicting info or do not have info re fitment for a drop.
It gets a tad overwhelming.
I want to drop my 2012 E550 on H&R sports, and go to a 19" rim as flush as possible allowing for as much rubber as possible due to my OE tune.
I am thinking realistically thats a 275/285.
20s combined with H&Rs will just be too hard around here. Made that mistake with some AMGs.
So.....what am I looking for in terms of offset for an 8.5/9.5 combo or 8.5/10?
What will get me as flush as possible, with maximum rubber, and no fender rolling.

I don't think ther is a material difference between the coupe and cab fitment. I was running 19x8.5 et37 and 19x10.5 et50 with 245/35 and 275/35. The rear was quite flush with no rub on h&r springs with the 17mm spring shim. Front was still pretty flush, but I'd assume you could easily run an additional 5mm or so less offset and be just fine still.
Thank you Crazy, thats very much the advice I am looking for, right down to the anti-sag 17mm shim.
I dont see a lot of 10.5 rims, but I can easily correct for a 10.
Nice. You will never regret that. Not for a minute.
Having owned 3 of them, I think my love for the C63 is well documented around these parts lol.
I will add to that by saying that never mind vehicles, I have never owned another product that I have loved and enjoyed as consistently as the C63.
May you have many awesome miles.

Thanks! Yeah, this is my first AMG car and its been a blast so far. I hope you enjoy the 207 550 as much as you did the 63s! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Hey, I just noticed the license plate! Nice work. We are restricted to 6 characters here, otherwise I would have "Schnell" (means quick or quickly in German)
