Ok in summary, u are looking at running :
18x9.5 w/255/40/18 f
18x10 w/285/35/18 r

At stock height w/o rubbing?

Well, I would say NO for the front, I haven't seen this set up before.. So my guess is the 18x9.5 is top wide. U will rub with ur 255. The best combo would be 18x9 +40 for flush ness.

As for the rear 18x10 w/285 is doable. Just get a high offset for them like +55.

10x18 in front... I don't remember anyone running this set up. It will probably fit but look might be off (sticking out too much). 9x18 F will work with a +45 offset.
9.5X18 in rear will work too. I'm pretty sure you can go 10x18.
But why do you want wider tires in front when your car is a RWD?

AMG's are notorious for rubbing tires when you upsize them. A lowered car looks substantially more aggressive than shoe horning in massive tires and wheels. Also remember larger tires and wheels generally decrease performance due to 1) more un-sprung weight 2) more rolling resistance 3) more rotational mass causing more brake fade. The rear tires for the C63 are undersized for the HP/TQ. While conventional thinking always seems to end up with wider tires as a solution, a better solution is a LSD rear end. You basically double the amount of rubber working for you. Good though sticking with 18s". The streets just are very friendly to 19s"
