C63 coupe EVO X(sold) WRX (sold)
!! Need help for my rims

Hi guys, I'm looking to get the 19" forgestar CF10, but I'm not sure with the size,
19x9.0 offsets 45
19x11.0 offsets 54

11 seem too wide for c63, but forestar didnt offer offset 54 for 19x10.
Soo need some recommendation !!

I think your options are 19x9.5 ET 42 or 19x10 ET 48 (assuming you want to go wider than OEM). There is a risk of rubbing with either depending on tire width as the fender clearance is similar. IMO, for those who don't want to rub and don't want any risk around this, the Forgestar offsets are too aggressive... yes, some here have them and they work OK but some report rubbing too. I was told that I should avoid running anything wider than a 265 tire (although some have successfully) to avoid rubbing. My other issue is you have to use the Forgestar caps which I don't like personally as the MB center caps won't fit.

Give Peter at ForgeStar a call - they know all about C63 fitment & are great to work with.

I'm on my 3rd AMG C class. MBZ just doesn't build these cars with much more clearance for wider wheels and tires. No matter what anyone tells you if you lower the car and put wider wheels/tires, its going to rub.

Forget about the 11s.

The only fitment in CF10 19" is 19x9.0+45 front and 19x9.5+42 or 19x10+48. Both are aggressive and will require a 265, anything larger will rub.

If you dont want to go too much more agressive then stock, I guess would another option be to go 8.5front and 9 rear both in semi concave? The black series wheels look to be semi concave both front and rear and they dont look too bad. Not sure what offsets are available in the semi concave though...maybe one of our experts can chime in. Could still put a 245 tire up front and a 265 rear with 8.5F and 9R.
As for the center caps, I agree it sucks that stock MB ones will not fit, but lots of options on ebay for overlays to stick on top of the forgestar cap.

The CF10 is available in 19x9+20 to +60. We can easily make a low 40 offset to fit the C63.

You can fit up to a 265 on a 9".

THX guys!

But just want to make sure, soo CF10 19x9.0+45 offset front and 19x10+48 offset will fit perfectly? Becuase i read on the manual, c63 offset is 45 front and 54 rear.

These will fit, but that will be an aggressive setup.

We usually run 19x8.5+45 at the front instead of a 9". The rears will fit, but you will need to use a 265, a 275 will rub without added camber or fender roll.

Yah, your 19x10 +50 looks great, but its a bit aggressive for me on my everyday driver and not lowered...so the 19x10 +48 isnt really an option for me. I think I might have to go 9" rear. But if you have to go with a 265 to avoid rubbing on the aggressive setup, then I am ok with a 9" that can also take a 265 tire...I would rather have the offset fitment that suits my taste.
