Supercharged C63 wheel and tire help.
i just supercharged my 2011 C63 and it is a beast. I ran an 11.79 @ 118mph at 5000 ft above sea level. I am so impressed with the Weistec blower. I am running Nitto nt555r's. 285/40/18. I am not hooking up at all of the launch. i get a 1.76 60ft while spinning and I know I can do much better than that. I have to launch from a very low stall around 1200-1500rpm. I want some wider wheels and need help. Does anyone know the widest rear wheels I can put on my car? Also any recommendations on better tires than the 555r's?

+1 Those times are pretty good and you have a good 60'.
For wider tires you will most likely need to roll the rear fenders to accomodate the increased width. I've seen people put 355 width tires on the rear. Slicks will definitely help but make sure you do a proper burn out before taking off. You might also want to look into a skinnier front tire and losing non-essential weight from the car.

Are you running headers or stock exhaust? I assume stock exhaust?
I ran headers, tune, race gas, -200lbs and did 11.9 at 118mph. DA was around 3000ft.
But on topic, like even money said, get some 17inch rims and run Hooiser dot drags, you should be able to dead hook with those.
I was dead hooking and couldn't get into the 1.7's on 60'...

Wow, thats brutal, I retract all my previous statements. I thought we had it bad here at 4700ft DA.
Your racing on Mount Everest lol.
CCW will do 17 inch rims for 1000$.
I got lucky and found some knock off 17s for 200 bucks woo. Def get Hooiser DOT drag radials. They are really good.
