for those that have the C63 wheels

Has anyone who installed the C63 wheels swapped out the front C63 tires 235 40R18 for the optional C class OE size: 225 40 R18 on the STOCK C63 wheels? I was wondering how the narrower tire fits and looks on the 8" C63 wheel. I am not sure if the 18" factory C wheel is 7.5" or 8". The bigger tire fits fine, just want to keep it as close to factory size as possible. Dont want too much stuff flying up on the door.

The 235's will fit perfect, look a lot nicer and give you a better steering handle

Both the front of AMG 18" and C63 wheels have the same dimension except the offset.

AMG 18", 8x18 ET 50
C63 18", 8x18 ET 47

Either 225 or 235 is fine on both.
