Thinking about new summer wheels
Well maybe a day of sunshine around here made me think about new summer wheels for my C36 lol. currently stock AMG 17's mono's was thinking if I could fit maybe 19's on there. CL style AMG looks ok not sure how it looks on a C 36 though, also getting mono's is a possibility. Any ideas or comments feel free to throw em here. Also not too sure what exact sizes would fit 
Happy New year guys

well summer might just be next month if things go right hehe
as of right now will be AMG CL 19's, 235/35/19 F, 255/30/19 R (Dunlop 9000's or Michelin Pilots). I know i'll need spacers for the wheels, have no clue on what kind and what size if you have any info on that feel free to let me know. Thanks

Had to register to give you this caution! Regards, to changing wheel/rim size I think it will confuse the onboard computer for ESP and speed display and odometer calibration. It may also change your transmission shift points. If you must chang to 19" wheels then consider lower profile tires, if you can go any lower.
Just a comment no disrespect intended.

Furthermore to Petie I would endorse Pilot Sport for Summer if available in the sizes recommended. Only because I had Conti before and the Pilot Sport felt like a God-Send. Noticed better directional stability, softer ride and less wheelspin on take-off compared to Conti, when new.
