How wide are the wheels in the back of your c55?

No spacers on my car, all around stock 18" double 5 spoke AMG rims, they are just chromed. The rear tires were changed to Pirelli Pzero Nero 255/35/R18 instead of the factory Pirelli Pzero Rosso 245/35/R18

The 265's I wrapped around 8.5" wheels are filled to 40 PSI and have no bulge. If you use spacers you will need to get bolts that add the thickness of the spacer.

Guys....
For the last 4 years, I've been running Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 275/38/18's on 9.5" rear wheels with 2 year old OEM springs and Bilstein B6's all around. I needed to roll the inside rear fender arches, Occasionally, I'll hear rubbing rolling over parking lot speed bumps and more noise hitting dips at speed.
Next time, I'm dropping down to 265/35/18's and expect no noise whatsoever in both conditions. Here's a pictures......
