Working on a W210

[Junya]

also, does anyone know if dropping from a 225 40 to 205 40 help with rubbing?

Absolutely.that will help. My old tires on my 18x8.5 was 215/35 and no rubbing, fenders rolled (but rubbing only at full lock and i hit a bump) you should be alright.

Awesome build mate. 215/35 should give you nice clearance.

lol right?? it took me way too long to do the rears haha. I honestly just had an awkward schedule this week so I wouldn't have time to keep tweaking the height for the rears. but I did it today! and thanks again for all the help with the ksports man!

aircraft stripper peels the clear coat off of the wheels. that's what I did on my lips to lift the clear to polish them
