265's on a 10" wheel will look retarded (no offense to you, just a suggestion). Since you're going with 10" wheels, I'd take advantage of it and get 295's for sure, the reason you want wider wheels is for more rubber.

No offense. I know its going to look retarded. If anything Ill go up to 275. No chance i can go bigger then that. My car is lowered to the tire. Im trying to reach out to my wheel builder, and see if we can just leave it at 9.5, and 8.5. I just bought these tires, and i dont want that VW stance/stretched look..

@Jeff, your car looks great. You are running 275/30/19 on the rear. How much room do you have on the inside of the tire before it rubs and how far from the fender lip? I want to run 18 x10 or 10.5 but keep getting told they will not fit due to rubbing on the fender lip. Alot of members are running 19 in wheels and the tires average about a 1/2 inch taller than stock. the set up I would like to try is 295/30/18 its almost the same as stock height just alot wider. Any thoughts?

my rears are probably less than a finger tip away from rubbing on the insides. On the fender sides I can barely get my finger between the tire and the fender. It's hard to believe it doesn't rub had 3 people in the car over the weekend and still no issues.
I'd say you don't stand a chance putting a 295 on the back of this car.

^^ same here... it's a tight fit between the fender & the rear 275 tires, but no rubbing. 295 will require rolling or pulling fenders for sure if you drop.

Think thats what we're going to do. I'll melt them away before summers over..
Now I need to decide on a color for the centers. I thinking gloss gunmetal.

Gloss gunmetal would be my choice too. I have a set of I-forged Aeros in Anthracite (gloss gunmetal) on my Lexus & love it... so easy to hide brake dust.

The C63 rolling shot makes your car looks lower in the back.
