Hey bro can you please send me the exact tire and wheel size specs. I really love the look of your ride and I want to run 305's as well. What size wheel fits with no rubbing though... the 19 or the 20??? Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Ralcbah, awesome E63! What are the offsets on the BC Forged? What "Profile" did you go with? Mild for the Fronts and Deep for the Rears?
TIA!

Thanks much! Very happy with the result. Regarding the profile, I asked them to give me as much concavity as they could while clearing brakes, etc. Not sure of what was actually selected...the fronts have a nice concave profile as well.

Can finally add to this group and it feels good.

Front: H&R Springs + PP Suspension
Rear: Lowered with Star

Front: HRE P43SC 19x9 ET30 - 265/35ZR19 Pilot Sport 4S (25.875" GTF)
Rear: HRE P43SC 19x10.5 ET35 - 305/30ZR19 Pilot Sport 4S

I am rubbing the rear wheel liner in the left front wheel well at about 3/4 lock when turning left (outer tire sidewall). Going to change to the EvoKlass Front Adjustable Suspension kit and bring the car up 1/8" and then get a fresh alignment.

Aside from that, no front or rear rubbing when driving straight over bumps, etc.

I ran a 255/35 PS4S on my previous setup in the front for about 2 months. Now that Im on all 4 on this new setup I can really tell the difference. The car in factory form can't spin this 305 like it could a 295 PSS on my previous setup. These are much softer than the PSS but very planted in hard turning however. Rain grip is also incredible as we're having quite a wet September / October so far down here.

Overall I am very pleased.

Finally joined the 305 plus club! CLS550 305/25/20 rear!

Hi All!
Literally joined the club yesterday!
Had a heck of a time finding tires locally as some were either available but "discontinued" or still on the boat with ETAs that kept moving....
So, reached out to Tire Rack and took a weekend trip to upper NY State. Got the Pirelli P-Zero Nero in 255/30/20 front and 305/25/20 rear (sizes that Renntech puts with their packages). Had them mounted on Verde Axis in Matt Graphite, 20x9 front and 20x10.5 rear. Offset is 25 front and 30 rear. Fits like a glove with no issues at all! Pics attached! (Side bonus; the 19's from the CLS fit the C400! 255/35/19 front - 285/30/19 rear).
PS: A big thanks to everyone who posted on here as it was a big help with getting this done!
