This was the 30mm kit. The shadow seems to mask the lift some but there's a good amount of space above the tires.

For those still interested, the Tema4x4 lift kit on eBay / Amazon installed fine and gave a decent lift, no longer scraping at splaces it used to! I think this car should have been this height from the beginning. 

Please let us know if that worked out. I moved to a more rural area and boy is my c-max not fitted for those driveways. I *think* even at stock height you can up the tire size one notch to 235/50R17, and the lift kit would give it that extra but of clearance to avoid scraping off the fabric(!?) under the car* 

This post helped me a lot. I have a new-to-me '17 energi and just experienced the awful hum with my family in the car. My wallet's life flashed before its eyes. Wizzurp that's a genius fix, thanks for the research. On the 17s they have mounted that plug which made it super easy to disconnect.

I'm also looking to put on taller tires, bumping up only the aspect ratio from 225/50/R17 to 225/55/R17. So all other tire dimensions would be the same except for a .4" taller sidewall. Does anyone know if they would rub with such a change?
