And on a blue C63?! I would hate you for life if this were a wagon too. Car looks amazing!
Hehe Cheers! The thing is, I just don't like the wagon - they are way more common here than the sedans for example. I guess you want what you can't have (applies to the US market)

Many thanks Roswell! I must admit I am actually about to order bolt caps, but I'm thinking about buying red ones like Matt used to have on his HRE's on his black C63 wagon.. Damnit, now that you said that about the center caps.. I might have to take action.

So I have went through (skimming) all 250 or so pages of this thread and I have to be honest.
1. You all make it so damb hard to figure out what wheels to put on my new to me 2012 C63.
2. I have learned a crap ton of information on wheels and fitment for that I thank all of your for your great information on our car.
3. I notice their are some very common and desired wheel brands that a lot of you trust and continue to purchase (ADV1, Vosseen, HRE, Niche etc.) Which you guys have made to look amazing! Personally so far I continue to look at the XO Verona wheels 19X8.5F and 19X9.5R and can choose between ET20-ET45 and the Rohana RF2 Black 19X8.5 and 19X9.5 also custom offset options for desired fitment. I haven't been able to find any of our C63 in these wheels yet from my search. Any reason these aren't as popular or used on our car, just not a desired style for our car? Or have I missed where this has been done already? Just curious. Thanks In advance to whoever reads and replies to this.

carefull on the Rohana I had read guys where requiring 3mm spacers with them the way they are designed the spokes hit the brakes.
Hmm. I wonder if that's on all their wheels? Or select that aren't made for larger calipers. 3mm spacer added isn't to bad of compromise to run them but thanks for the info.

yes but then your running a +42 in the rear which I think is too aggressive especially if you want wider tires and especially lowering I have +47 and I wouldn't want less

Please excuse my ignorance. Lol. On the wheels it says ET Offset is low to high depending on vehicle. So I'm assuming that means I can choose the proper ET within a set range for front and rear wheels to accommodate my fitment needs/wants? I am looking for the perfect fitment flush with fender and plan to lower on H&R unless not necessary.

i believe their high means 45 25-45 is the range I believe. I would not run that if you don't want rubbing when you lower
Personally, if you can, I would try and find a 19x9 +40 / 19x10 +50 setup. Allows you to run 245/35/19 and 275/30/19, which I feel is best for the C63.
Some more contact patch in the front and rear. The W204 is severely under-tired.
Yes it's very safe, u can even do 245/35/19 on ur 19x8.5 +40 front.
Ur rear 19x9.5 +50 will work good with 265/30/19.
Appreciate the help! Yeah I thought of that on the 245 after I went back in the thread a bit and saw someone with similar setup and 245 up from so that's what I'm going to do as well.
^ I also had 275/30/19 with 19x9.5 +50 in the past, but I can tell u it rubs on the passenger rear fenders over bumps & dips at high speed. I changed to 265/30 & that solved my rubbing problem.
U might get away if u are at stock height (I'm lowered) or if u choose a tire with rounded sidewalls if u prefer 275.
So on a 19X8.5F and a 19.9.5R using 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 with an ET50 on the Rohana would be a safe bet I'm assuming? ET40 up front?
Rohanna told me none of their 19' rims would clear on the C63 brakes and that I had to go 20". That advice was a couple of years ago so it may be that later designs in 19" will fit.
2012 c63 AMG Sedan + P31, Magnetite Black Metallic / 2011 c300 sport sedan
In need of some help from the fitment gurus on this thread!
I have a 2012 P31 C63 sedan on H&R springs w/ 17mm shim pads.
From what I've been seeing the P31 package C63's sit a little lower than a standard C63.
I'm really interested in getting a set of HRE FF15's, but want to know if I can fit them with my current suspension set up before purchasing them.
The wheel specs are F: 19 x 8.5 / 47 offset
R: 19 x 9.5 / 45 offset
I would like to wrap them in Michelin PSS
Preferably with a 35 sidewall for the **** roads in my area.
Or stick with the recommended tire sizes just bumped up to a 19'
I'm trying to avoid rubbing at all costs. May even swap out my H&Rs back to my stock suspension if I can't squeeze them in. Planning to get coils down the road, but would like to get the wheels and a few other mods first.

The HRE FF15's are designed to be used on your W204, whether lowered or not, and the fitment is actually guaranteed by HRE.
The only caveat to this though is that they recommend a 30 profile in the rear rather than the 35 you are mentioning.
As always, I'm here to help answer any other questions you may have.
Hey Gurus...I'm pulling out my hair in frustration and would love some advice. And sorry for the rant ahead of time...
I bought 20" Vossen VFS-1's. They are beautiful...wonderful...look great. But I can't get tires for them that don't rub. I have 5mm spacers on the front, 3mm on the back, and my 275/35 on the back rub when I go over bumps and my 245/35s rub ALL THE TIME on the strut perch of the strut tower.
I'm so goddam f#$ing annoyed by the rub. Like, ashamed to have someone in my car. And I can put something like 235/30s on that front that don't rub...which I had on...but they started tearing the inside edge thanks to hard cornering and ended up shredding the tire anyways.
I am of the mindset of functionality. I don't care how pretty my car is, if I can't whip it around corners with wild abandon it's fu#$ing useless. And I can't with the current setup because it rubs and I don't want to rip the tire apart.
So...couple questions. Can I file the strut perch on the bottom side to get a little more clearance? Should I just go for tires that don't legally support the weight of the car like some 235/30s on the front? Or should I move to some 19s and go with that? Is there something totally different I can do?
I was looking at these on the classified section but with how wide the front is I'm not sure it'll fit over my P31 bigger brakes without rubbing elsewhere. Will the HRE FF15s fit?

The recommended fitment for your W204 C63 from HRE's engineers with the FF15's are:
19"x8.5" ET 47 // 19"x9.5" ET 45
235/35/19 // 255/30/19
I have these back in-stock in about 2 weeks for those interested. Prices start at $625 per wheel.
