Hey there, been looking for some 19" Wheel & Tire setups on the C63 204 that look like the pictures.
Does anyone of you drive something similar to this? If yes, which wheelsizes and tires sizes are you running?
Thanks!
If I'm reading those rears right they say 305/35/19 and there's just no way without added rear flares.
Can't read the fronts, but we're in worse shape there, so highly doubtful without some decent fender work.

Great to see another beefy tire enthusiast. I ran beefy tires on my 207 e550 coupe which I believe shares the chasis with the w204 sedan.. I am not sure if that also means they share fitment clearances as well. But I was running 19" flush wheels 8.5 front 9.5 rear and my tire sizes were 255/35/19 and rear was 275/35/19 without rubbing... to get the rears without rubbing I had to run the benz camber bushings (gives about 1-3 degrees of camber) but I was running flush fitment if you are not flush you may not have issue or you may want to go with 265 width tires.
I just picked up a 2014 c63 sedan and want to do something similar with the stock 18" amgs and was wondering myself if I could go 245/45/18 front and 275/40/18 rear... I think it should work based on some very quick projections where I took into account the .75" drop that h&r gives with their springs. My car is at stock ride height and with these larger tires I believe I will be increasing the area in the fender by close to .5" but this is sort of a hypothesis and i'm not sure if there's other factors i'm leaving out.
It’s all to do with the width of the wheel, the aspect ratio of the tyre size and the brand/model of the tyre. Once you figure all that out to get a meaty set up to work properly you will have to run alot more camber to avoid destroying the arches.
If you have narrow wheels 8.5” you shouldn’t be fitting 255 to those as they need to be at least a 9”

yea I had to go 255 to stay within rolling diameter with rear. I would have preferred going 245/40/19 but it was too tall for the w207. The 255 wasn’t too bad though but correct it was slightly oversized. I’m wondering about the new specs I want to run on the w204 though I think they should fit.

255/35 front do fit the C63 as I have them with a 275/30 rear, you need the perfect wheel width/offset, alot of suspension changes and more camber too.

Do you think 245/45/18 and 275/40/18 would fit on the c63 with the stock 18" amg's and stock ride height?
You should not run a 275/30 on a stock 9” rear wheel, you will get rollover. On stock wheels max 235/35 & 265/30
Many manufacturers have 9” as acceptable for a 275 but I can go 265 if necessary. I was mainly concerned about the aspect I was trying to run. Which is 45 front and 40 rear on 18”. Will that fit on the w204?

Worth pointing out with various tire combinations OEM there is no Front Camber (or Caster) and no Rear Camber adjustment.
THEREFORE FOR FRONT - we manufacture lower arm Camber adjustable bushes that allow up to “EXTRA” 2 degrees (Positive or Negative) Camber change. Perfect for reducing costly premature inner edge tire wear.
SAME SET UP FOR REAR SUSPENSION (also 2 degrees plus or minus Camber changer).
NOTE: Both these K-MAC kits - no special tools required to install and no time consuming need for control arm removal !
FOR FRONT ALSO - “REPLACEMENT TOP STRUT MOUNTS” - CAMBER & CASTER ADJUSTABLE (From engine bay - no time consuming Strut removal).
