Is it true the C43 lacks launch control?

 

Correct.

 

Only the driver

 

I'm looking to put snows on - with separate set of wheels. TireRack has not tested the C43 Coupe yet so cannot make any recommendations. Any suggestions/concerns on what fitment would be best? As well, any thoughts on whether to keep OEM F/R sizes or equalize for snows which I've done in the past(plan to keep them at 19).

Thanks

 

Best would be F: 18x7.5 +35 or 18x8 +30 R:18x8 +45 on 225/45/18 tires.

Personally I went with 18x8 +35 on C63 507 reps which barely cleared the control arm and the brakes.

 

In addition to ultra00b's helpful info on 18" wheels , does anyone have knowledge of acceptable fit for 19" 's?

 

Can't comment on the fitment, but FWIW, I'm keeping the OEM staggered sizes for my winter tires. I'm gonna use the OEM 19's, and perhaps get a new set of rims once it warms up again.

 

It does lack a little icon that tells you you're about to launch....you can still brake torque it though, which is basically what launch control does anyway lol.

Interesting tidbit, my 435 has launch control and I've noticed I've gotten better launches via brake torquing since I'm controlling the RPM's to match driving conditions. Although, seeing a little flag pop up is kinda cool though
