tire & lowering question
Hi guys,
Just been doing some research around the forums and so far I've gathered that H&R only has 1 spring available for the C63 and it's the sport (comes in black color) and not the super sport. Just wanted to confirm that and if anyone has recent experience on the ride quality after installation.
Also if I go for 19x8.5 +45 and 19x9.5 +48 wheels, would these tires fit perspectively?
235/35/19 front
275/30/19 rear
Thanks!

H&R only has a sport spring type available for the C63 with a 20mm drop. Not sure of the colour as I have seen pics with different colours. I think mine might have been blue. Not sure and couldn't find a pic.
Your wheel and tire pick with be fine on the front and might even take a 10mm spacer to fill out the wheel well or will look a little weak. The rear might be fine but you will need to fit it to be sure. I had 275 on the rear on a 10x19 wheel with +52ET and it was fine. On my 2012 a 265 rubs a little on the right rear on the same wheel. You might need to try a 265 on the rear with a +48ET.

Just be careful as I have heard the H&R springs cause the car to pull to the right. I hate my car pulling in wrong directions so I would rather save up and get KW V3
