AMG 18 rims tire size.

Hello, searched around but ended up just confusing my self with tire sizes..

just got new oem c63 rims and was wondering what tire size should i run on the rear.

front rim: 18x8 ET45 (A2044013902) Probably will run 235/40/18 tires.

rear rim: 18x9 ET54 (A2044014002) was wondering if I can run 265/40/18 or 265/35/18 with out rubbing ofc. Dont really wanna run 255/35 or 40/18.

2013 c300 4matic sport. Live in the area with bad roads.

thanks you.

"Live in the area with bad roads." Then you should be running 17" with high profile tyres !!!
The rolling radius of the front and rear tyres should be within a few percent of each other or you will have isses with electronic systems that measure the tyre rotation speed.

If you're thinking of bumping a post from over 2 years ago to ask someone a question, first click on the person's name, then click on "View Public Profile". In the case of arkim989 you'll see "Last Activity: 01-19-2021 11:33 AM", so it's not likely you're going to see a response.

There are a number of threads in this forum that talk about wheel and tire sizing, stock and aftermarket, like here or here. There are also other resources, like tirerack.com, that show you the stock and optional tire sizing. I think the Owner's Manual lists the different wheel and tire sizes, too (as listed out in post #20 in that 2nd thread I linked above). What are you actually trying to figure out, and do any other those resources answer the question you're trying to ask by bumping old threads?

I have looked into those and never saw the actual answer from people fitting a C63 rim on a c300-350. Most of the folks don't put oe size on these rims so I am just curious what they ended up using.
