C32 AMG
That's what I run. I have my rear fenders rolled and when I have 4 people in the car or when I corner hard it rubs a little.
I may try to go to a 255-35-19 and see how it goes. Right now I have my rear end a little higher than stock since I installed coilovers and it rubs a lot less, but I'd prefer it lower by another half inch.

Has anyone tried 225/35 with 265/30? I've looked at the tire calculator and realized that these demensions match the closest. How much does tire Circumference and Revs per mile play a factor?? Not sure if it would, just checkin...

Mercedes Benz C200K Sport Edition and 04 C55 AMG
I've just fitted SL55 18 x 8.5 et30 F and 18 x 9.5 et33 R AMG III's refurbed in black chrome. They well clear my CLK63 calipers. You need the proper bolt fitment though - think they are 14 x 1.5. Here's some pics.
Been raining all day so quality of pics not good.

I should give you a hard time for not using the search button as there are tons of threads out there discussing rim fitments, but instead I will just say that I know for the C55 the minimum offset needed to clear the big brake kit on the front rotors is 37mm. In the rear I think you will be okay with 30mm.

I'm correct. If in doubt, check your owners manual. It clearly states in my owner's manual what the OEM stock rim specs are.
Having said that, you could fit 7.5"x18" rims with offset of ET37 in the front. It just won't look as nice, as the C55 has more flared fenders than other W203 models.
And for those who want 17" rims for winter, the recommended size is 7.5"x17" rims with offset ET37. Recommended tire size is either 205/50 R17 or 225/45 R17 on all 4 corners.

I'm pretty sure I got the information right by the part numbers, but there's always different offset for 209/171/203 for the same wheels.
Diameter: 18"
Front Rim Width: 7.5"
Front Rim Offset: ET37
Front Rim Mercedes Benz AMG Part Number: # A 209 401 4802
Rear Rim Width: 8.5"
Rear Rim Offset: ET30
Rear Rim Mercedes Benz AMG Part Number: # A 209 401 1502
Bolt pattern: 5 x 112
edit: NVM....I pulled up the 209 part number instead of the 203. PC is correct.
