. so im quite confident that you wont b able to re use those 265 in the front unless you wouldnt mind the aweward handling. Most likely that the tire guy will stop you from mounting them on.when my factory tires were removed, both the front and rear were fine on the outer side but wore to belts on the inner side
aparantly its due to how our cars are setup rather than poor wheel alignment.

I ve read hundreds of posts on this forum and I still cannot get a definite answer on how big one can go on front and rear on Factory Forged Alloys, without rubbing.
Everytime one guy says he did it, another says it isn't safe and you are running on the bead.
Next guy says he did it, but his car is lowered.
Next guy says he did it but, used spacers.
On a factory C63s, that isn't lowered, that doesn't use spacers and on Factory Rims... How big can we go without ANY chance of rubbing?

the 295 woild look a little bulged on the factory multispoke, it doesnt affect performance nor safety but protects the wheels from curb damage so im pretty happy with them.

Jst have to try them out. There are variations in every factory car setup. Most tire shop accept swaps dont they?

jst bear in mind that the rears are definitely gotta b worn unevenly (inner would be very worn compared to the outer) due to the setup of the rear suspension (camber etc), well, also depending on how long you have abused them . so im quite confident that you wont b able to re use those 265 in the front unless you wouldnt mind the aweward handling. Most likely that the tire guy will stop you from mounting them on.
when my factory tires were removed, both the front and rear were fine on the outer side but wore to belts on the inner side aparantly its due to how our cars are setup rather than poor wheel alignment.

On the sedan you can go up to 265 with no rubbing issues or sticking out too much. Rears I would go up to 285s on the OEM wheels. 295s is pushing it but not ideal.

295/30/19's on the rear factory wheels with no lowering and no spacers and no scrubbing.
Obviously this size is larger than recommended but this is what I'm running and I'm happy with the setup.
My my car is now lowered, and still no issues.
Still waiting on a confirmed 265/35/19 front tyre size.
I might just do it and see how it goes.

OEM there is only ‘Toe’ adjustment front (and rear)!
OK if vehicle maintained and driven at showroom height, but day to day commuting with high cambered roads, altering height, load carrying, suspension sag, fitting wide profile tires or curb knock damage – the feature of having “ongoing Camber adjustment” to change tire “contact angle” is essential. Along with front “Caster” to correctly resolve steering pull and improve brake and steering response.
For the front (only) you can purchase fluted bolts W205 C400/C450/C43 4matic
*not C63/S63/S65 AMG – but they are inaccurate having ONE ONLY OFFSET POSITION, providing 3mm (1/8”) which is a minimal 0.3 degree change.
We saw the need therefore to design, manufacture and reinstate from the early ‘90’s front kits that provide up to “3 times” this adjustment range and are precise/accurate – on car under load direct on alignment rack. Fixing it right.... the 1st time!
Along with similar rear (all models incl. C63/S63/S65 AMG) – also providing Camber (and additional rear Toe adjustment to compensate for the new Camber facility). Advantage of the K-MAC rear bush design compared to adjustable “Camber Arms” is that to resolve premature inner edge tire wear Camber arms need to move “top of tire” outwards, diminishing all important clearance to outer fender – K-MAC moves bottom arms inwards and easier access allowing to be adjusted accurately (on car under load).
Race days or Performance Driving – this adjusting of “lower” arms allows “extra” Negative Camber and also up to 1 1/8” “track width” (front and rear) to reduce understeer in the quest to hit those corner apexes every time and go deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response.
These latest development Series ‘4’ unique patented design kits are “single wrench” adjustable. Not only providing “full/precise” adjustment but at the same time replace the ‘4’ front and ‘4’ rear highest wearing suspension bushings and with twice the load bearing area!
The front bushings are 2 axis/self aligning but without the oil and air voids of OEM. Result is noticeably improved brake and steering response. No modifications to fit - come with instructions and extraction/insertion tubes (Rear Camber can be fitted on vehicle).
W205
Front Camber and Caster #503216K $480
*NOTE: Front C63/S63/S65 AMG model kits #503316K available 1st April 2017
Rear Camber and extra Toe (all models) #502226K $480
Delivery $40 one kit or $50 front and rear kits. We accept PayPal, Visa or MasterCard.

K-Mac: Why hijack this thread? Start your own thread like all the other guys hawking their wares on this site..
As far as the rears being 295, the only issue I have is that the difference between the front and rears is "supposed" to be 20. So 265 up front and 285 rear would be an identical set up to stock.
By going to 295 (and knowing we can't get to 275 up front) you are changing the geometry/design of the vehicle. In addition, you are altering the MPH/KM on the speedometer by altering the geometry. So, your speedo will not reflect your actual speed.
If 265 is confirmed, then I have my answer (finally) 265 front and 285 rear.
Although I would love 295's in the rear, I just dont feel the added size is worth the potential downsides as mentioned above. But it sure looks bad ***..

245/35 = 25.8
265/35 = 26.3
295/30 = 26
Almost spot on.

I have fitted 285/30 rear and 265/35 front with no issues and fit perfectly. No rubbing. Handling improved very happy front grips in alot more and rear really puts power down.
39f/36r tire pressure feels good
all fitted on oem matt black forge alloys 19s
