There is a price difference of approximately EUR 400.
I think Africa & UK are offering 19x10.5" rears as well.

Will try and source quotes for 10.5's with shipping to Australia through the week if available.

The only 20" rear wheels we have in the UK are the forged cross spoke.
Only 19" rears in the UK are 5 twin spoke.

Thanks Uga Uga.

Can anyone in Africa, German or any other country confirm if the 19 x10.5" Black Cross Spoke is available for any of their W205 C63 variants...

Found this today.

Thank you.
Now the question is:

305s in rear really look bulgy?
And what to put up front?

Guys in the states, where have you been getting your tires mounted to avoid rim damage?

The fronts are the worst... they are so tucked into the guards. No matter how big you go with the tyres it will still look tucked in.

Rears you can pull off with 305s I think.

So I'll still need front spacers, even with wider tires in front? So with 275s in front, should I go with a 5mm spacer?

Would the rear 11x20 cross spoke from the AMG gts, fit the C63s coupe ? if so I am thinking that there would not be so much bulge from 305 tires, and none from 295.

I looked into this...

The offsets are really different though.

C63s - ET 57
GTs - ET 68

285 on a 9.5 in rim is the widest PROPER size so you don't pull the bead in and round the tread.
You can get by without rubbing on a wider tire I think but it is not properly sized.
even then a 285 is not the preferred size for a 9.5 as it is on the fringe too large. 275 is the largest preferred size

No issues atm, I drive in Sports + with no scrubing, did a run in comfort and no issues there either.

There is is a slight bulge in the side wall of the 30 profile, however, it not bad at all.

I am on on the hunt for the black cross spoke 10.5" to rectify the bulge, however, the look from the rear and the fact I haven't been able to break traction is well worth a little bulge.

ahh mixed opinions, and result is I'm lost now 295 from the back looks really jawdropping ! 275 wouldn't make a difference in how it looks from the back, I feel.

RD what are you tuning up front 30 or 35? Could you post a side pic of your car, wondering what a 35 in front and 30 in back looks like

Tire shop can't seem to find any Run Flat in 295

Hey Chris,

No run Flats on my C63S it's fitted with Dunlop Maxx Sports.

Just did a quick measure, fronts are still 245/35/19 and side walls measure approximately 60mm.

The 295/30/19 side walls measure approximately 55mm.

Side on you you can't even notice.

Here's a new thought.... On the coupe:

What if I left the front's as stock on the 19x9's and used a 10mm -12mm spacer, and put a 305 tire on the rear? Is that a terrible idea? The thought of dropping $1600 on brand new tires for a brand new car is giving me indigestion.

This is what I did on my sedan, kept standard up front and fitted 295's to the rear.

Quoted the 19x10.5" cross-spokes that aren't available on the Australian market through a Mercedes dealership here in Australia and wait for it....

$2420.00

EACH

$4840 for two alloy wheels - no tyres

Has anyone priced these up elsewhere?

Sounds reasonable to me. It would probably be cheaper then the Pepto Bismal, bill in the long run..
