Staggering 02 240

I have an 02 C240. I really want to put 19x10's in the back and some 19x8's or 8.5's. I wanted to know how the fitment will be and will there be any rubbing to deal with? I would like to lower it 1.5" and was also wondering if thats gona be able to work with a 10" wide rim. Any recomendations would be nice and suggestions on Rims, tires, and tire Size. I am new to this Mercedes thing, I have always have had American vehicals(ford, chevy) and I really like this Euro stuff. I just want this car too look pretty good, and have a nice little sexy lip in the back.

Thanks guys!!! from the Newbie!

So do you think with the 9.5's there won't be any issues with rubbing when I lower the car?
