AMG6.3

Hello - I will be soon shopping for a new set of winter tires. I have C63 2010 18" stock wheels and factory suspension height.


I will be using these stock rims for winter. Will 245/40/18 work without rubbing in the front and in the rear? According to wheel calculator size in diameter is 25.7" for 245/40/18.


Note, stock tire height is 235/40/18 with diameter of 25.4" in the front and rear is 255/35/18 with diameter of 25".


I am hoping to keep all four wheels same size and ideally run 40 series profile for more tire wall.


Thoughts?

235 40 18 all around is good

Will 235 work on the rear wheel it would seem very stretched.

yes 235's work fine in the rear you won't even notice the stretch.

225s will also work easily on the OEM 18" wheels.

I ran a square 225-setup last year and will be running it again this year. Where I live, I need the narrowest width possible to handle the heavy snowfall we receive.

Keep in mind that as a general rule, the wider the winter tire, the worse it will perform in the snow.

naw .. its good and you can swap the tires each season since the rear burns faster and this way it will last a long time.
