depends on the weather
the H&R Sport Springs will lower the car 1.4" and will not cause the tires to rub the fender providing you complete the installation correctly and get an alignment

maybe you could post a pic of your cars inner fender and we can see if it has been rolled by the factory.

The guy has a w211 E500.

Therefore, his car has no springs or shocks.

Rolling your fenders depends on a multitude of factors. How low do you want lower your car? What kind of wheels (offsets and width) are you using right now?

We need more information to assist you. However, from my personal experience, 19's on an E class does not need to roll fenders, unless it's completely lowered to the ground.
