I have been going back and forth between the E90 M3 and 2012 C63 sedan for a while now. The only problem I have with the C63 is the rear fenders. I really am not happy with the way they look or function.

Has anyone successfully rolled or pulled the rear fender to fit a wider rim, say 10.5in or 11in? I want to be able to put the power down and not just burn off my tires.

I also saw a wide body fender kit posted on this forum for the rear. I really want something that is high quality and looks OEM so I'm not sure if that is the best option.

Any suggestions?

You can roll the fenders a little bit but ts not gonna make a difference.
Dads Performance is coming out with a wide body kit for the rear, so you can fit some wide rubber back there.

You have to look at more important things than just that. How does the car make you feel, will you be happy with it in two years. Does it bring a smile to your face, everytime your start it up. The M3 isn't a bad choice either, I could be happy with it, but I choose to buy the "King Dingaling" C63 AMG. King Kong doesn't have anything on me

10.5 fit in the rear. You have to dial in that offset very close though.

With tires wider than 275?

If rear fender bothers you that much, just buy M3.


I wouldn't be cutting body panel on 70k car to fit wide body kit.
Plain stupid.

JeffDL

exactly.

They function really well when you pull 4 cars on the M3....everyone in this forum is putting the power down

Great vid capture! And that was a stock c63 putting 4 cars on the M. Not too many stock C63's around here. The wider tires are only one part of the equation I think some rear suspension work might be your real answer rather than wider fenders.

Ask and you shall recieve, this car now sports 335 rear rubber

Stupid to you is functional to me so it's all relative. If 70k is a lot to you for a car you probably shouldn't have one in the first place.

Maybe stock but I wouldn't be.

If you have serious problems putting the power down in a c63, you need to take a driver's ed course...

Only three comments posted that actually pertain to the question I posted. I would expect this from a Honda forum but I guess some people never grow up.

That's the spirit ..... sounds like you are a guy with deep pockets. Why bother with a C63 then? Want flared fenders, get a C63 Black Series. No problem running 11" w/305's.

I've considered it SMP but I prefer sedans for the simple fact that I "feel" safer in them. I will admit the C63 Black Series and CLK63 Black Series are bad *** cars though

That's because your question sounds somewhat immature too.


If you are wealthy enough and willing put much effort to make quality wider rear fender, any high quality bodyshop can do the work.(just like one of above pix)
But this cutting/welding seriously taking risk of chassis rigidity/reliability of your highly engineered AMG car.


Also...looking for FRP wide fender 'kit' is somewhat short-cutting/cheap method, and results can't be perfect because of bondo, cutting rear fenders and ect.
