Default Coilovers on SLK55?

I really want to install coilovers and 19" wheels on my SLK55. I want something like KW V3's and DCR wheels similar to YNOT's (awesome wheels YNOT) but with 5 spokes. I have two concerns:

Concern 1: KWSuspension only lists KW V3’s for the SLK350 not the 55. I would think that the 55 would require a stronger spring due to the extra weight of the V8? Anybody know the spring rate for the 350 and the 55?

Concern 2: Will the 19" wheels rub the spring cup/adjuster nut?

Anyone have coilovers on an SLK55? With 18" stock wheels or 19" after market wheels?

Regards, Ed
