Hi NKC,

some people have managed to fit

245/35/19 fronts
275/30/19 rears

with Michelin Pilot Super Sports and 19" OEM Multispoke rims....without lowering and no rub.

https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...em-wheels.html


another forummer did

245/35/19 fronts
265/35/19 rears

https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-old-m3-2.html


its your call... but different brands of tires have different sidewalls / shoulders so what may fit for 1 brand might not for another.

good luck

I run those sizes on my 19's with coilovers w/o any rubbing whatsoever so you will be fine. "Flush" is subjective but IMO you'll need 8-10mm spacers for the "perfect look" to fill out the wheel well. Be safe!

All right, good to know! Enjoy the car and drive safe Like others here have told you those tires should work fine. And the car's beautiful. Got anything planned for it? Modding seems to be somewhat of a must on this board People here are already the reason i'm 5k € poorer due to a hunger for HRE wheels..

Congrats on the car and welcome to the board! Dont need to chime in on the tires since its already been said.

Was wondering how are the road conditions like in Nigeria? Also are there lots of open space for you to let rip the power of the C63? I would imagine you will definitely turn heads driving it over there lol

thank you all for the splendid advice... i am indeed very grateful.....

the road conditions are indeed very ok, in the capital....... and theres lots of space to rip the hell outta the car.. there r some peeps with e63, cl65, sls gullwing , cls63, c63 sedans, and they have been ripping d city apart.......lol

as for compliments, i get them every second, the car is a head turner for sure... and the funny thing is peeps with the bigger monsters are the ones amazed at giving compliments. my fellow c63 sedan peeps are beefing cos there reign is over. lol

as for mods, wanna start with the wheels first, den i may go headers etc to gain as much hp as possible, but i am gonna have a problem with ecu tune, dont know how to go about it from here. i wish there was some offfline method of tuning the ecu

Well, sort of!!!!
With so much "strife" in the World these days, & not knowing much about Nigeria, I was wondering whether it was a "safe" country....no armed criminals/bandits/gangs etc on the streets etc, where a car like that would be a target!
Cheers, Pickles.
