Wheel change 18's to 19's question
Just took off OEM 18s and put on 19s and the shifts are all coming too soon and off kilter. Is an ECU reset or something similar needed to get the new driveline ratio adjusted for?

No? The shifts should have nothing to do with your wheel size.

Just joined the forums after picking up a 2012 C63 Perf Pkge.
Major spinning with 18in 255s in the rear. I guess the 481HP will do that ... lol
Could someone please assist me in confirming whether 19 x 9.5 rims with a +45 offset using 265/30 tires rub / fit ?
The manual says an offset of +54 is required for the rears, but I can't find that offset in non-oem rims anywhere.
Thanks everyone...

Those are the right sizes. It must be something else going on or it is how it is supposed to be and you're mind is playing games with you because you have on new wheels.

It would shift into 7th above 55-60 in all modes previously. I'm going to reset the ECU overnight and see what happens. Typically wheel size changes require ECU updates to correct the speedo since the revolutions per mile are different. Not sure if this affects shifting if no one else ever seen this issue when upgrading wheel size,

The difference is minor
What was 50 mph is now 51 mph for the same engine speed
There must be at least that tolerance in the system(s)
Tire wear from 10/32 to 2/32 is the same of change
