Tire size for 2012 cls63
I have 2 questions: Does anybody know how wide you can go with rear tires on original 19" amg rims and how wide can you go on any rims? Thanks.

Well the factory wheel is 19x10- you could go 305x30x19 or maybe 315 on that wheel but it would look stupid and it would not be optimal. You would have too much overlap sidewall.
On any wheel- the max would be a 305 tire or maybe a 315 if you are not lowered but I recommend 305x25 (these scenarios would be for a 20x11 wheel)

does this apply to wheels going on a CLS55 also?

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Yes, as a matter of fact, if I recall, the C219 has a little more room out back to play with.
Also, the offset of your wheels will play a very important role in determining how wide of a tire you can mount in the rears before you start to get any rubbing on the fenders.

As mentioned pretty much- the only difference is the C219 can run an even lower offset in the rear than the C218 (2012 CLS)
Front is et37 and Rear is et47 (forged 19's)

What's behind my question is that I will need to get a set of rims for next winter eventually. According to the manual, I should go with 255/35/19 for all tires but with rims of 9X19 et37 on the front (same as original) and 9.5X19 et52 on the rear (same tire size but different rim size?). I'm wondering why not 9X19 on 4 wheels so I suspect that the clearance required on the rear is needed for another reason than brake size.
Thanks for helping make my education on wheel sizes for this car!
