Tire Size Help

I need your help guys.....just wanna ask if a 275/30/19s will fit my C63 without rubbing? I have a HRE C19s 9.5 at the rear and dropped on KW V3 on the lowest setting and planning to install a Falken 452s. Thanks.

275/30/19's will not rub if the wheels are made to C63 offsets.

Falken are very narrow tires so you should have no problem fitting them.

I've run 275/30/19 on +10mm spacers and H&R springs -20mm and had no rubbing issues.


Haven't you sold the car yet?
You were parting it out if I recall correctly?

The difference between a 275 and a 265 tire is less than half an inch. The half inch increase is then distributed to the inner wheel well and the gap between the fenders. So it should only reduce your gap by a quarter inch.

It depends on the tire brand as well.
E.g. Falken, Toyo and Dunlop are narrower than others.

Hey Arius, long time no see. How you been?
I remember seeing your setup at the March madness meet and you had substantial amount of room to run a wider tire setup. You should be fine with 275's.
Would you happen to have your rear offsets by any chance?

It's probably +50, similar to other HRE 19 x 9.5 wheels.
