Question 18" AMG Monoblocks

I currently have 96 C280. I just bought 18" AMG Monoblock rims for my car, if I have Dunlop Sport 9000, Fronts 245-45-18, and the Rear 275-40-18", will they rub?
Also to lower my car what all will I need, and how can I do it?

depends on the weather
yes they will rub ... you should use 225/40-18 and 255/35-18 tire sizes

Hmmmmmm! Those Tire sizes seem like off an S-Class. If so, you may also have the wrong rims? S-Class rims do not fit C-Class properly. What are the sizes and the offset?

The C-Class needs these Monoblocks from the E55:

18X8 et31
18X9 et35

If your rims are these sizes (below) they are for a S-Class which usea 14mm lugbolts and the offset is too high causing the rims to go inward too far.

18X8.5 et47
18X9.5 et46
