c32 amg newbie please help!

Hi guys, just joined this site and recently became a benz owner.I have a 03 c32 amg and love it. Im not a road racer im a drag racer and being new to this car i have a few questions that i think you can help me with. Im looking to lower the car with springs (there saying 1.8 to 2 inches) i would also like to install a set of
19 inch rims, will there be any rubbing? what size tire is the biggest in rear i can get? if any one has any info it would be greatly appreciated pictures would help also. I would do coil overs but my wife drives the car and has NO clue how big curbs are .

19 inch rims will fit make sure the offset is correct.
265/30 on the rear and 235/35 on the front for perfect fit tires.
Mine doesn't rub, I'm lowered about 2 inches.

Are you aware there is a C32 Forum exclusive to the C32 & C55 AMGs that should have have lots of information about your car. Better place to get info than the wheels forum IMO.
