standard car original wheels not lowered looking for more grip how wide can i go with no rubbing with a full fuel tank thanks.

I know there are some people running pretty wide tires (275, 285?), but I believe fender modification was necessary. I'm running 265s on factory C63 wheels, but I've never really paid attention to how much wider I could go.

aussie e55

hi 91rs
are your c63 wheels same offset as standard c55 wheels thanks.

9.5 rims 265 tire - maximum on C32 without fender mod.

No, they are not. I had to use 15mm spacers all around.

Any idea if 18x10s spec'd for a W211 E55 would fit at the rear? Or is that too wide?

kent426

depends on the offset, they changed part way through, you want 35 to 38 ET. The largest tire you will fit will be a 275.

aussie e55

thank you all one more ? any problems with electronics with bigger rear tyres thanks

JUAN CASAUS

Yes...when I had 275/40R17 on my car the cruise control acted weird and sometimes didn't work but with the 265/35's I haven't had any issues whatsoever.

lizardjack

Here they are.

Odd, I have no problems with cruise control and traction control is less invasive I assume because perhaps the larger tire diameter vs the front fools the system in allowing it to slip more than with the stock smaller rear diameter tires.

I'm running 255/35/18 Pirelli Pzero Nero on the rear stock rim. No rubbing issues.

I did notice better grip, handling and less rear wheel spin when slow turning, after going to the wider tire.
