Drill slot rotors, lowering, and wider tires
hey guys im new to the forum i have 2014 c300 4matic sport sedan with amg package so i have 18 inch amg rims. Ive looked through the pages and im still confused on how wide i can go on the rear tires without changing my rims and lowering the back of the car since it already has the staggered look. Right now i have 255 35 18 in the rear and 225 40 18 in the front. I want to go wider in rear how wide can go without lowering it in the back and having to change the rims? Also where can i get drill slot rotors for all four wheels? And last question what is the best way to lower the car while keep the staggered look where the rear is higher than the front? Thank you in advance

Staggered means the rear tires and rims are wider than the front tires and rims, it doesn't mean that it's higher in the back. This is a good guide I used for wheel fitment, it doesn't have everything possible but everything listed works well. http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/inf.../mercedes-benz
What you have now is pretty much the widest you can go on18's. If you Change the width you'll be changing the tire's overall diameter which needs to be 25" to keep the speedometer accurate and needs to the the same front and rear to keep every other sensor, ABS, ESP etc happy.
