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?

This is why I've held of getting aftermarket wheels. If I'm going to upgrade they will need to be better than the stock forged.

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.

Let us know how you go.

I emailed ECS tuning yesterday. They told me that they do not have Spacers for the C63s coupe. Which surprised me, as Sanch has a photo of these on his car. So I do not know where to get them now. Ordered the KWs today, and now on the spacer hunt also.

Ha I have the EC DPS coming also next week. Talk about putting the cart before the horse lol. I also did the same with my Vipers. So Sanch you would not happen to have the part #s of those spacers and bolts ?

What manufacturer and brand type of tires are people in the states getting as stock on the 19/20's? I want to order a larger, but matching rear tire, in advance of arrival.

Is that what's on the car standard?
So if I order the PSS for the rear, it will match the fronts? 😀😀😀

May look at AM alloys after that but I looked at all the wheels vendors are offering on here and nothing seems to catch my eye.
What to do? Maybe I'll win the lotto and then I can spend $5k on the extra 1"...

Did you ever find out what spacers the shop installed on your coupe???

Slacker... ;-)
Just because you're too busy driving your slicka$$ ride to hook a brother up?
Bwahahahah!!!!!
No worries, mate. You've already been a huge help.
Tell you what - if you want to give me the phone number of your shop, I'll even call them for the info and post it on the forums (and I'm from the states)! LOL!
Turns out, because I live in Nevada and we get 20d temps, I'm going to have to buy a set of Winter tires/wheels. So, I'll upsize on the winters now on the new Vossen wheels/tires (S3's) .... The question becomes less pressing, because I can wait until spring/summer to mount the PSS's back onto the OEMs with car again and with the spacers. Or, should I reverse the thinking and put winters on the OEMs with spacers in front and do summers on the new Velos S3s???? Opinions??
But, my biggest question becomes - should I go with Michelin PS A/S's or is there another Winter Tire that is better (I'm super concerned about noise and traction). We get ZERO snow where I am in Nevada, it's just temperature/compound related that becomes the issue.
Having NEVER dealt with this problem before as we just moved to the colder desert climates, any help is truly appreciated.
EDIT: JUST found another damn hiccup. I cannot get ANY winter tire, it seems after checking TireRack, in a 305 set up. Therefore, in order to get a symmetric set that can be rotated, I'll have to get a set of 19's all around and use 275's on all of them. Now the problem is getting an offset for those rims on the coupe that will allow flush fitment, and not require a spacer either front or rear? It's going to suck pretty bad to have a spacer in front for the summers and a spacer in back for the winters....
Any thoughts on all of this???

RDO, is there an advantage of running stock 245 out front? Could you have moved the rear tyres to the front rims or move the entire set to the front? Would that work?

Whats everyones thoughts on this?
My wife just bought a new W205 C250 AMG line for her work car, I was just going to fit the original AMGCross Spoke wheels and tyres to it once I've sourced new wheels for the C63S if there's no off set issues.
I'll look into fitting the 265's to the front but feel free to chime in everyone with your comments.
