I've recently bought my first Mercedes, a 2000 c280. I immediately bought H&R super sport lowering springs which lowered the car by 2", and bought shocks to accommodate that as well.
My question now is...

Would bmw style 95 wheels fit?
Dimensions: 19x9 19x10 -22

Not if they're bmw bolt pattern
you'll need spacers and 9 inch is cutting it close for the front

I was planning on getting adapters to go from 5x112 to 5x120.
So I'm guessing 9' wide on the front would be getting close to being too much?

9 fronts is doable... but you would rub like hell... i have 8.5 wheels box set up i had to switch from 225/40 to 215/40 and i still get some rubs... btw i am spaced out 15mm to bring offset to +20

and are you going for the style 95s for looks? were you thinking of going multispokes?

Well that gives me a good idea of what type of wheels to look for.
Yes I was looking to put style 95s on it for looks, I've almost never seen any mercedes with those wheels.
Guess that's out of the question now.

I'm going to try to fit Lorinser RS1's. They're still 9 inches wide, won't be any trouble for the back most likely. Stretched tyres and rolled fenders on the front should probably do the trick especially with +38 offset..

Thanks again!
