From my understanding without spacers or body work 275 are the widest, however i would want wider. What are my options?

Boost Gomez

285 width Nitto tires will work. Toyo and Falken has some models that might work in the 285 sizing as well.

i see, i thought of putting on ps2's, what do you recommend as the best summer tire.

Depends on what your after. More grip, longer tread wear, etc?

I would say Bridgestone RE-11, NITTO NT05 or Dunlop Direzza Star Spec.

I just went with 275's rear and 245's front and I bought Contintental DW's (not DWS). They are a very good tire. Had them on my 335. Looking forward to having them put on this weekend. Hope they don't bulge off the rim too much.

Can you take some pics after its installed?

Hey all, Just got a C63 Coupe. I am going to buy a set up 19" rims and want to use my 255/40 front and 385/35 rear. The car istock...will they work and look good? Thanks!

Take pics!

Sorry, must be a typo as 385/25 ain't gonna come close to fitting...in fact from what I can tell 285/35 won't fit either but I'll let some others with more experience chime in.

Sorry, 285/35, not 385/35

How about Michelin Supersport
245/30
285/25
will it rub for 20?

Dude, you really need to try the search ke on this one.

CarHopper

Supersports run wide. If you're lowered it will.

I'm running 285/25 Pirelli P Zero on a 20x10 rear w/out any rubbing.

CarHopper

^You lowered?

DuaneC63

Wider rear tires may look nice and offer some nominal traction benefits, but you get vastly better performance out of an LSD. Basically you're doubling your usable tire traction width using stock sized tires without adding more un-sprung weight.

So Pirelli wont rub even lowed the car?
Ppl saidmichelin tire is better than pirelli....= thicker than pirelli?

adibaiz

I am lowered on H&R springs and no rubbing with 285/25 Pirelli tires on a 10" wheel, because i run 55 ET (offset) and yes michelin is better but i couldn't do it w/out having any issues.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!damn, i ordered my new rims in 10.5 on the rear....................and plan to lower my car after this,so should i go with 275 instead of 285 ??

CarHopper

What offset on the 10.5?

kg21nba

My bad, is Rear 20 x 10J ET+55.
285+ lower down, will it rub?

CarHopper

^That is identical to what adibaiz has then. Look at what he says, he had to run the pirelli in the 285 because the michelin would lead to "issues"..

So seeing as you have the same wheel specs I can say you'd be able to run the pirelli in the 285 but if you got a michelin pss I'd run 275.

I just got mitchelin pilot ss 245-40-18 & 265-35-18 perfect set up no rubing even they run so wide and I have stock set up very happy with them so far

CarHopper

From what I've seen around here that is one of the preferred setups for the PSS
