05 C55 ContiproContact Tires

Just got my car and it had these tires on it. The fronts were the standard size the rear are 265 instead of the stock 245. I don't know anything about this tire other than its an all-season. I was curious also about the rear size being a couple of sizes wider than stock, will this be an issue. Also, the tires look new.

depends on the weather
the OE sizes on a 2005 C55 are 225/40-18 front and 245/35-18 rear.

the wider 265 setup will likely cause rubbing on your fenders

The rears are not rubbing. Thanks for the response. I do have to replace one of the rears and am having a hard time finding a replacement.
