This is it now Would like for it to sit like this,

Reason: Mispelling
Your fitment chart for w210s.
You will need to check if your wheel well lips need to be rolled or not, depending on the tire width you desire)
You wish it to be lowered - Look into what you presently have installed for the spring pads (ie. #1 thru to, 4, if I recall correctly)
You can look up into each spring perch and should be able to see or feel the # of pimples (bumps) on the underside of the spring pads.
From there, you can determine if changing to a thinner spring pad will lower your ride to your desired height.
If not, then you need to look at lowering springs (H&R or Eibach)
Also.....
Please update your user cp info with all the details
AND try using the search button at the top right - plenty of discussions on your specific queries.
The car in your picture is running 18s with a slight drop. Lowering springs and possibly swapping spring pads will get you that low. Fitment will depend on how low you want to go and how wide of a tire you choose to run in the front.
I am on 18's with #1 spring pads in the front, #2 in the rear and vogtland springs
in the "after" picture you can clearly see the spacers installed. Use the fitment guide above, then measure/tune fitment later with spacers and longer bolts. Brabus wheels have high offset, which leaves quite a gap to be filled in the fenders.
This was my old E55 that was on some 19" Brabus wheels with H&R springs that had a couple of coils removed. No issues with rubbing.
Here is my current E320 with the springs from my E55 and 18" Monoblock wheels. Once again zero issues with rubbing. Both cars were running Bilstein sport shocks.
Appreciate all the help guys and the tips regarding the site ,like the way those cars are sitting some nice rides out there! Will get a pic posted when I can get it together!

what tire size are you running? I just picked up a set of 18" monoblocks to replace my 17"s. I was running a 275/40/17 in the rear with absolutely no issues at all. I'm still at stock ride height on my 02 e320 sport. I hope to lower it soon but I know for sure I will start rubbing on my fenders. So I'll probably end up rolling them, do you think it would be possible to get a wider tire then a 275 on monoblocks for the w210.
