Cls63 Amg help choose tires

Hi guys
I'm looking for tires for my cls63 amg 2012 the car has 678whp and 816 wtrq I'm wondering what tires could gripp with that much power I have the 19 inch wheels and 20 inch set of vossens I can even buy 2 18 just for the back. Idid my research for sizes for the 18 s 285 35 18.
my question is what drag radials would gripp the most?
Did any one try installing 305 wide tires on a cls with no problem when the car lower down when parked?
​​​​​​​thank you

WE have had great experience with the Nitto NT555R! Try those out in a 285/35/18.

If you need help sourcing a set let us know. Happy to help.

Coming from a 600 whp 3 series these were NIGHT and DAY from a street tire.

sorry was a ltl busy
I ve been told that on 18 " I'll have more traction since there is more rubber so I'm looking at installing 305 35 18 but those tires need at least 18x10,11,12
now this is getting complicated for me I dont know what offset to get for an wheel that wide.
​​​​​​​any ideas

that's exactly what I'm leaning to but the load on the 285 is 97 the original tire is 98 so I decided to go with the 305 it's 101 load rating and Y for speed rating instead of W.
