Widen Rear Stock Wheels?

Hey guys,

I have a CL63 2010 AMG and was wondering if anyone has widened their stock rear wheels?

I wanted to keep the stock look, but wanted to move to a 10.5 or 11" wheel so I can run a 295 series tire for more grip.

Has anyone widened them or knows a good place that does? And what's the widest wheel we can add without rubbing?

Thanks /Craig

I don't think you will be able to run 10.5 or 11" wide rims on the rear of a C63

I just bought some 10" wide rims with an offset of 60 they hit the inner fender and manufacture supplies a 5mm spacer to give it proper spacing. I am going to run 275 wide rubber on it.

Stock width is 9" on a C63 and on other W204 Platforms is less.

Thanks.

Is is possible to run a 265 or 275/35/18 on the rear wheels?

When you add a wider tire to the same size rim it will raise the car up in the rear and give you odd tread-ware and rake towards the front...

Stock is 255 I know several people that used 265... 275 is recommended to run on 8.5"-10" but it will depend on your application
