235 & 265/19 or 245 & 275/30/19 ?
Which Size Tires set up would you go with if your C63 has
19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5
I was wondering the 245/30/19 and 275/30/19 has more tread but makes the car run higher by 0.3 inches.
Any opinions on this.
What are you running and why?
19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5

245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear.
Im personally running a 235-265 Michellin PSS for various reasons.
1. I have very aggressive offsets
2. Im lowered on H&R's
3. Michelins run wide so I wanted to play it safe by going with 235 front and 265 rear
No, all wider tires do is provide better traction for the C63.

AMG - If I went to run Hankooks or goodyears some tires just are wider than others, and It is tough to tell, it is almost a trial and error thing.
Stock suspension without lowering will 235 265 combo be better as it won't let the car sit as high and the gap be as wide or is it totally different?

If you went the 245-275 combo with either Hankook or Goodyear on OEM 18's on stock suspension you wont rub.
I had 275 Hankooks on stock OEM setup and didn't have rubbing. Even though Goodyears are wider I HIGHLY doubt you will run into any rubbing issues.

On stock suspension if I run 19 x 8.5 42 offset and 19 x 9.5 with 48 offset with 245-275 Hankooks i should be ok?
I know your front and rear offsets might be slightly higher though right?

If you're going to upsize your tire size, 245/35/19 fronts and 275/30/19 rears would be the way to go. That's the way I have mine set up.
