Wider tire on rear
Any C55 owner installed 255/35/18 on rear tire? I talked to MBUSA tech support and he said I can't. But Tirerack rack told me I can. So anybody installed wider tire and any problem? My r/r tire damaged inside of wall. So I am thinking about replacing both rear tires with michelin PS2.
Thanks in advance

No problems>. you can go to a 265 R with rubbing
You will love the PS2's....

i have 265's in the rear for hre 19 x 9.5 on my C32 AMG. no rubbing, and my car is very low in the rear. fyi, i did have my fenders rolled. in addition, i was advised not to go with a tire w/ a square sidewall, e.g. bridgestone potenza s03...you need something which has a rounder sidewall to work i am told
