195/65R15 as standard?

I think 18" wheels would wreck the ride and handling.

...and rub if 215 or wider.

205/50R16 is the way to go, perhaps accompanied by slightly shorter and stiffer springs.

The geometry of the W201 won't like being lowered too much so unless you're going for a fully adjustable setup 25mm is probably as far as you want to go.
