Input please to modify my 2014 C63 507
I'd like to hear from everybody how they would recommend to modify my C63. Currently it is a stock 507 with M-LSD. The 1st thing I did was put on Michelin Super Sport 4s. 19 OEM size. I'm thinking of swapping them out for 245/35/19 upfront and 275/30/19's in the rear. I want to reduce as much oversteer as possible. I would like to hear some input please, if 275's will rub without modification. If I need to use spacers in the rear, will that cause rub? Yes, I have read all the posts, but would like black and white answers. I have ROW boxes on order with aFe filters. I was thinking of a WeisTec ECU Stage one upgrade. Anyone know what I might expect as gains with the M156 507? I'm not interested in adding any more engine performance than that, as it's my daily driver. I would like to drop the suspension, without adding a harsher ride. Ordering a JBSpeed Vorsteiner style 2 rear spoiler in piano black. Interested in the JL motoring black series front lip in piano black, and the JL motoring rear big fin diffuser in matte. I have carbon interior, that's good enough. I like the piano black exterior look.
But I am open to input from experienced modifiers.
Thanks in advance.

NOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Throw a 500hp shot on it that’d be so cool
There are no other mods you can do really, you’re pretty maxed out

Damn Jim, laughs.
How much is your budget? What are you looking to do with the car? How much power and or handling improvements are you will to do or spend?

I have a Eurocharged V6 tune on my 507. Didn't notice much if any improvement in HP but the car is more responsive and the shifts are more dramatic. I'm happy with it, though if I was to do it again, I likely would have just left it at a 2nd cat delete and not worried about the tune.

It’s not really a budget issue. I’m more interested in getting the power to the ground with neutral handling. I’ve read that the W205 has a wider rear track and 285’s to reduce oversteer. I want to be able to drive hard through a corner without the rear stepping out.

Also -- I wouldn't compare your car to a w205 c63. The only things they share are basically 4 wheels, an engine, and AMG badging. Otherwise, different animals.
Sounds like your main concern is putting the power to the ground and you already mentioned the first thing I'd do -- up the tire sizes. Then go from there.
Lastly -- You said you've read "all the posts." Not being a dick, but, what posts? Because these types of questions have been answer countless times and are becoming harder and harder to find because the forum gets cluttered with similar threads that can take off in any given direction. There is good stuff out there, spend a week, keep the tab open so you don't lose your spot, and when you have spare time go page to page opening threads that interest you. There are plenty of them titled almost the same as your questions and topics mentioned.

Those numbers are gains on base models. (Non-PP / Non-507). You'd gain a little bit, but I'd leave a 507 in its purest form if I had one. Especially if I had some factory warranty remaining. Not sure if you do, but I still have factory warranty remaining on my 14 e63.

Posts on this forum. I’ve spent hours reading. Some say max is 265. Others say 275. But wasn’t clear if that was with some modifications. Yes, I do have an extended warranty. So you have a good point.

With the warranty, I would not tune the car. Leave it alone and cross that bridge when the warranty is up.
This is tail happy car and 255's just aren't enough.

Dont stick out too much.
No uneven wear
I have 275 Michelin in back. No rub, no wheel spacers. Kids in the back all the time. No issues. Adults have ridden in the back too, no rub either. Wider tires + lsd, car doesn't break traction easily, just hooks and goes. We'll, that was before intake spacers, lol.

I don't get the whole point of upgrading airboxes and filters which will cost almost $500 for about 5-10whp. Add a couple hundred dollars more for a tune and you will get even more hp/torque as well as smoother shifts, better mpg
, blah blah etc.

To the best of my ability to find what I was searching for that was not to outdated. Yes! Lots of conflicting posts. So, I wanted the most current opinions. Cool with that?
