Thanks, Mort. I actually had the vendor send me 40mm bolts (they accidentally sent me 44mm). I also had received 40mm bolts and needed to shave a solid mm off

2014 C63 Coupe

When my 275s wear out I'll be going to a 285 30 18 in the rear with my 5mm spacers and I'm confident it will be fine (similar to stock with a 20mm spacer I believe). So, although I haven't tried it, I suspect a 15mm spacer in the rear with stock wheels and tires would work (assuming longer bolts and not lowered).

@Paulcw1 Your car looks great

That same PSS size is what I've been contemplating on my 14 coupe. I'd buy new rims but I kind like the factory ones (same single tone 5-spokes you have) so no point in doing so unless I have to for fitment reasons.

A few questions if you don't mind:

1) What size front tire?

2) Did you need the spacers to fit the tires or are those primarily for cosmetic reasons?

3) Any issues at all with ABS or traction control with the new sizes?

4) Notice any obvious speedometer issues?
