LUKE: You recently posted that on a C32...
...you can go 19" with 265's in the rear. The following are a few questions:
1) Does this require spacers?
2) Can the rear width (265) work with 18"?
(265 35 18)
3) Do you know of any lowering kits (springs/coilovers)
available for the C32? I know the C32 sits 1.2 inches
lower than a standard C so i'm assuming that lowering
kits designed for the C240 & C320 would not do a
C32 much good.
I would really like to know how wide in the back I can go so I can
buy new wheels and tires.
Thanks, Luke!!!

We (Evosport) sell Kleemann Suspension Systems, which will not only lower your car, but increase handling greatly. If you'd like any information about it, feel free to email me at ben@evosport.com

You can run up to 265/30/19 guaranteed up to a 9.5 inch rim. On 18" you would rather use a 255/35/18 if possible (OD reasons). You do not need spacers if the offset is correct.
The lowering kits are from H&R and Eibach. They have springs, shocks, cup kits (matched springs/shocks) and coilovers available for 203 cars. None of them is C32 specific, however. The US cars ride higher than the European versions, so will still get a decent amt. of lowering (1-2 inches) depending on the application you choose.
