Hello, everyone! I was wondering if I can put 255/35/18 on the stock c63 amg 18" wheels for the front. Looking to use 275/35/18 in the rear. Has anyone tried this and do you have any issues with rubbing? Also, is the 255/35/18 okay for the front tires? I know its not as tall as the stock tire that is 235/40. Let me know if you can assist, thank you!

I'd discourage 255/275 on stock rims. Those tires are a little too wide for your wheels. Both grip and steering feel will suffer. They are each a couple pounds heavier than stock, so ride and acceleration will suffer a little too.

Max width for front and rear on stock rims is 245 for your 8" fronts and 265 for your 9" rears.

thank you for the feedback! I might do 245/40 in the front and 275/35 in the rear. I think 275 on the rear should be fine correct?

Will a 275 tire fit on a 9" rim? Yes.
Will a 275 rub? Maybe yes, maybe no.
Is a 275 tire on a 9" rim 'fine"? No. Read prior post.
Is 245/275 a good mix on a car that already plows? I'll let you figure that one out.

275's in a michelin works fine on the rear.
You would be have to be an avid racer to notice any handling or driveability difference as compare to the stock 255.

I noticed 0 difference in my car in the 2.5 years it had 275's as compared to the 255's that were on it.

275's look a hell of a lot better as well

275/30/19 good on 9.5" rims? Can I add some spacers? This rear end is loose as hell... Id for sure wreck this car on my first track day.
