I heard a few post about people wanting or going to put 285 tires in the rear, has anyone actually done this?
Just curious if it actually fits or not, I would prefer more wider tires with this kind of power even in stock form, I can't imagine how people who plan to tune it are going to deal with 265 tires.
Speaking of which does anyone know if 275's will fit on the stock OEM RIM?
I havent picked up my car yet, so haven't had a chance to see for myself.
I would like to know this as well... This is the problem I have with my W204 C63. I cant fit anything bigger in the back than a 275. Even then it rubs pretty good on my KW V3 coil overs. If the W205 can fit 285, that would be a dream.....

This is from a post by C63-Dxb telling about his run in Dubai so it looks like he has 285's on his c63 --don't know about rims?
some facts:
- Full weight ED1 (pano)
- 3/4 tank
- Tune is not final, there's some headroom left.
- 176lb driver
- 285/35r19 MPSS@23psi
Thanks what are the fitments for the stock 5 spoke?
9inch?
and if so would 275 fit ok

I ran 285's on my C63 (w204) and never ever had any rubbing issues. I ran Nittos 555s and I used to make trips with the family and even the 84" long XL Mercedes carrier box on the roof.
