Will Front Rub? 255/35/19 40mm offset - H&R Springs
So now I have a challenge.
Here at americas tire co for the install with new rims (ended up ordering correct offset Euro-26 from 323MS 19x8.5 F 19x9.9 R offset 40 F 48 R) and they refuse to install the 275/30/19 for the rear. However have advised me to go with the 255/35/19 F 285/30/19 R which I actually prefer, but since my E is lowered with H&R Sport Spring, they are saying it may rub with the 40 offset in the front.
Anyone have a lowered w212 with 255 and a 40 offset? Any issues?
Also, Nitto 555 or Hankook V12? I heard the Nittos are a bit narrower which in this case would be good if going with the 255/285 set up.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the confirmation Going with Nitto NT555 255/35/19x8.5 40mm Front and 285/30/19x9.5 48mm Rear. I really wanted the Hankook V12, but heard the Nittos are great as well and they are in stock.
I also saw this reply from threeMBs on another thread:
"255/35-19 fits front of all W212 (lowered or not) with 8.5 or 9 inch wide wheels and offsets between 33mm and 43mm 100% guaranteed."
I'll take photos as soon as it's done. Hopefully today.
