Staggered vs non for c43
Just bought a 2020 C43 AMG and I'm wondering if it's required to keep the staggered setup for winter rims/tires or can I have all 4 tires the same size?
Current setup is:
Front: 225/40 R19
Rear: 255/35 R19
Ideally I'd like to just do a set of 225/45 R18 for winter rims.

To answer your question, yes square is perfectly fine. In fact, MB sells the winter tire package as squared.
I am running a square setup right now (18 inch though) 225/45

Oh you also mentioned you want 225/45 R18, yup that is what I have so you know it would fit perfectly. Just make sure the wheels you get have the appropriate offset you don't want it rubbing on anything. Stock 18 inch C 43 front has an offset of ET 33 and rear of ET 49, here are the detailed specs from what I see on my OEM summers:
225/45 R18 7.5Jx18 ET 33
245/40 R18 8.5Jx18 ET 49
225/45 R18 7.5Jx18 ET 33
245/40 R18 8.5Jx18 ET 49

My pleasure. The W202 C 43 deserves to get treated better and more respect as it is the first V8 AMG in the C-Class line up. A very important vehicle in MB's lineup.

I thought Mexico gets it too but ya even though we get it not a lot of people pick it like the rest of North America, people still go for SUVs... so I rarely ever see one on the road (this includes C 300 wagons, I just don't see them).
