I've also fitted the K-MAC front and rear camber kit to stop the premature wear my last two sets of tyres suffered from.
Interestingly, now that my tyres are standing straighter (1.5 degrees neg camber on the front and 1 degree rear, was 2.7 front and 3.1 rear) the tyres still do not scrub out.
My car is lowered 20mm all round on KW HAS.
Hope this helps in you setup.
Thanks for the reply mate!!! am so excited with the 295!!! i just ordered k-mac too. Am not good with camber measurements but how come you still have camber 1.5 degrees front and 1 degree rears? cant make it even on lowered cars?

You don't want your tyres dead straight.

You need slight negative camber to allow the car to handle right when going around corners.

If others want to chime in here as I'm no expert.

My cars wheel alignment is basically setup like a family sedan now as I have no need for aggressive neg camber, I don't track the car just a couple of runs at the drags.

That make sense. a little camber for better handling. noted mate. I just ordered 4s Michelin!! Whats the recommended tire pressure for 255/35 and 295/30 ? also/ if ever i uprgrade to a wider rims like 10.5 shouldn't be a problem right? i was thinking 10.5 makes the tire stretch then rubbing issues is next

36 Psi - All around works fine. I had that on my 265/30 & 295/30 back in the day and using the same for my current 275/30 & 305/30. Waiting for PS4S to come out with 325/25/20 - to see if they fit next

Yeah, 10.5's will be perfect for the 295's as that's what is recommended.

No spacers...

The Michelin PS4S also has quite a flat side wall compared to the Dunlops so not so much buldge.

So 265/35/19 and 295/30/19 PS4S tires should fit on a C63 non s coupe right? Planning on going with that setup if that is the case.

Yes they'll fit, but the better fitting 255 fronts might give you better turn in response and feel.

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 ***..
when you say 265 fronts and 285 rear tires..... is it 265/35 and 285/35? Or 265/35 amd 285/30? Thanks

Keep in mind with the larger over all diameter tires you are changing gear ration to a higher ratio thus a slower gear ratio. Car will have more acceleration with the smaller diameter stock tires than larger diameter tires.

“By the way K-MAC info certainly did help me. Finding out only had Toe adjustment OEM.”

Alright Guys!!,
I'm going to be going aggressive on my car soon 2016 Mercedes-Benz C63S Sedan. I'm ordering a set of HRE R101's in Satin Bronze or Satin Gold Fronts 19x10 and Rears 19x11.5 Tires: Fronts 265/35/19 and Rears 305/30/19

I have ordered 19x9.5 and 19x11 wheels for my sedan about a month ago. They should be arriving around late February or early March. I'm wondering how much lowering and camber you need to for the 11.5's over 11's because even a 11 in the rear is a tight fit.

I'm not sure HRE has checked and it fits without playing with the camber or anything and the .5 really isn't much at all

I assumed its monoblock no way you can fit 3pc 11 wide right? What about the concave mist be flat?

I'm keen to see both these cars fitted up with 11's & 11.5's & will follow suit if offsets work out.

The Sedan and the Coupe have slightly different fitments. On the Coupe you can get away with an 11.5" and 305 out back all day. On the Sedan it is a lot weaker. We've found the 10.5" to be the perfect setup with the 11" being for those who aren't of the faint of heart. 11.5" would be pushing the envelope dramatically.
