2019 C43 AMG
2019 C43 sedan and 19" Vossen HF-5 Fitment

I ordered a set of the Vossen HF-5 19x8.5 +30 front / 19x9.5 +45 rears in satin bronze. I have seen a few images of people running the same set up with the factory rubber size and I am not loving the minor tire stretch the fronts have.

Does anyone know if I can run 235 fronts opposed to the factory 225? The rears at 255 seems to look fine, but it's the fronts I want to fix.

I am also looking to instal the Eibach Pro-Kit front 0.8" drop / rear 0.6" drop lowering kit.

I've searched the fitment thread and can't seem to find my answer, so thought I'd put it out here.

Thanks so much everyone for any insight or help.

Discussed at length in the wheel fitment thread...

For that setup, you should be running 235/40/19 front and 265/35/19 rear. Nice wheel choice, BTW.

Thank you so much...excited to see them on.

Honestly I looked through the thread and didn't see anything that really answered my question (I may have have missed it...that thread is LONG)

So the 235/40/19 will fit and clear the fronts with the eibach pro kit? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, just really want to stay away from tire stretch.

Appreciate your time.

Yes. 235/40/19 will fit perfectly. You’ll want to increase the width of the rear tires to keep the ratio the same, however.

I appreciate your help.

One last question...I have heard the Pilot Sport 4s are "wider" then others...same size in the Michelin with no problem?

Again thank you so much.

You’ll be fine with PS4S in those sizes.
