Is it possible to run 9.5" wheels all around with matching sized tires (so they can be rotated etc)?

I would like to run the same size all around with the same offset. Has anyone run 9.5s up front, also what are he widest tires you can run up front & rear.

(Searched for the answer but could not find anything)

Thanks

 

I couldn't find anything either, so I went with 8.5 up front and 9.5 rear, when I get the wheels I can out the 9.5" wheels up front and take a couple pics for you

 

With the right tire size it should be possible in theory, may have to run slightly stretched but he reason is deep concave only comes in 9.5" or wider and I want to have matching deep concave all the way around instead of semi concave up front. It just looks a lot better.

How much extra room is ere on the inside of the wheel well between the stock wheels and the factory steering knuckle / shock housing? If it's enough then in theory it should be possible

 

I very much doubt that 9.5 will fit up front.

 

i also doubt this. that's a pretty beefy square stance. you tracking the car??

 

A 9.5 will be too wide to fit in the front.
Running staggered sizes is the optimal configuration for the OD and function.
In many cases Tire manufactures and OE builders require the cars to be set up with a spec rear tire that is designed to accommodate load rating as the back of a passenger vehicle will have additional weight from passengers and to account for luggage etc in the trunk. The staggered set ups typically are designed for meeting the same OD front and rear to avoid damage or a malfunction to the AWD.
Running a narrow application may result in a rear tire that is not properly load rated, and running a rear application all around will most likely result in rubbing on either the inside or the outside of the fender, which in the case where you could be pulling in a driveway with the wheel turned, the tread could grab the fender and pull it out and cause paint and body damage.
In the case of trying to run a smaller tire to fit, will then possibly cause a malfunction to the AWD. Taking the risks to be creative with wheel applications on the W205 would be better suited on a 2wd C300, I would avoid messing with a 4matic car when it comes to wheels and tires.

Just my 02! Hope this info helps!

I even think 8,5" is too wide for the C450 up front. That's why i decided to go for the optional 19" AMG wheels 7,5".

 

No 8.5" is no problems

 

I wanted square stance because it provides much better handling characteristics. I always prefer running square stance because the raw mechanical grip completely eliminates all understeer completely no matter how hard you push it.

anyone have an idea exactly how much room is available both on the inside and outside of the stock wheels on the fronts? In theory you would need 12 mm on inside and outside to make it work or adjust offset to allow it to fit
