hre 590r rims
im still waiting for my c63 to arrive, supposed to be in september, maybe sooner. but i been looking at rims already for it. i know the c63 tires are wider in the back than in the front. I want to know how wide i should get my hre 590r 20's for the best performance, anybody have an idea?

Go with 19" rims first off. You shold then be able to fit a 275 or 285 in the back and some 255's up front. 20" rims will just add more unsprung weight to your car and make it slower.

yea i kinda thought maybe 20's would **** with the performance. but how many inches wide is that in the front and back? when i go to order the rims it only lets me choose how wide the rims are in inches. i just saw that stock its 8in wide in teh front and 8.5 in the back.

Call the guys at HRE (they are based out of Vista, CA) and they should be able to help you out. Also, get in touch with the guys from Wheel Experts, or Jordan from 360 forged. They have amazing rims. Peter I believe at Wheel Experts is an authorized dealer of HRE and can get a better deal than buying directly from HRE.
