C32 on 18',19' or even 20' wheels. Carlsson & AMG are on top of my list. But I was told that the car has a huge AMG caliper in the front, therefore, not many wheels can fit. Anyone put any 18'+ wheels for a C32? 
 
Also, is it possible to put a set of 19' or above on WITHOUT rolling the rear fender? 8.5J all around??? 
 
I am thinking of lowering the car, cause the gap between the tire and the front fender is too big. What spring would you recommend? (provided not rolling the car again!)

With the proper offset, there shouldn't be a problem fitting wheels in there but the smallest you can go is 17 X 7.5 with +37 offset. Again with the proper offset, you can get 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear without rolling the fender. Springs really depend on how you want your car to sit and ride. Eibachs have nice cushy ride but don't lower as much. H&Rs drop the car a bit more but are stiffer in comparison. I prefer H&Rs since it handles better and I don't mind going slow on bumps.

Thanks Frank! But do u know anyone who has installed a 18' or 19' on a C32? If so, what wheels did he use?

Go to the Wheel & Tire forum on this site and ask Luke of TireRack since they are the official distributors for it.
