W205 C63 Sedan Wheels Only
#26
#27
Fitment of the wheels looks great, just wondering if that would work on the W205 with anything bigger than a 285 tire on the back. They're a little stretched on the 10" wheel, and one of the things I would be looking to gain with going 10" in the back is to run a 295 or 305 if possible. I run a 285 tire now on my factory 9.5" x 18" wheels.

Here’s an update on what I’ve been running for quite some time now.
My sedan is fitted with K-Mac Front and Rear Camber/Caster/Toe kits which pull the bottom of the tyre in opposed to adjustable top control links that push the top of the tyre out loosing the much needed guard to tyre clearance.
Front camber is set to -1.5 and the back is set to -1 degree and is lowered 20mm on KW HAS.
Wheel and tyre sizes have changed over the last two years and below sizes are confirmed fitment for the above setup on a sedan.
Fronts are BC Forged 19x9.5 et30
265/35/19 PS4S’s (old)
265/35/19 AR-1’s (current)
Rears are BC Forged 19x10.5 et57
295/30/19 PS4S’s (old)

305/30/19 AR-1’s (current street)
Note: Rear guards are rolled to allow max tyre/guard clearance for 305’s

From memory there was no scrubbing but before fitting the camber kit the rears were at -3 degrees and prematurely wore out due to the excessive camber.
I got sick of buying tyres so I just had the K-Mac kits fitted and haven’t had to worry about pre-mature tyre ware since.
The photo below shows the 295/30/19 PS4S fitted to the factory cross spoke wheel and the guard cleared before fitting the K-Mac Camber kit.

Did you roll the guards with anything other than your 305 set up?
It looks to me that there may be a little poke/tire sitting beyond the rear fender on your set ups. I assume a change in offset would help correct this.
#33
Wheels and tyres have no poke as the et57 is actually the factory rear wheel offset.
Photos are a little miss leading.
#34
Sorry i should mentioned that, I figured part of it could have been misleading photos/angles.

2000 c230 kompressor special edition, 2012 E550 coupe (sold), 2017 C63 sedan (sold), 2018 C63S Coupe
Not a huge fan of this wheel color on the car, but decided to test fit my old wheels off of my c207 e550 tonight. Rears are 19x10.5 et50 with 275/35 fronts are 19x8.5 et37 with 245/35. Everything fit fine, could easily run 285s maybe even 295s at stock height. Rears look like they would be fine even with a mild drop, could probably even go 285s. Fronts are basically stock fitment, would space them out and go 255 if I decide to refinish these.

Nice setup!
I'll roll and pull my fenders to fit 305's.
I saw an example of another thread, he was running 19x11 on the rear. I am thinking 305's fit better on 11 inch rims. BC Forged told me 11's just don't fit. According to my calculations 305's on 11 inch rims with ET +55 would sit nearly identical to 305's on 10.5 inch rims with ET +57.
Thread that shows 305's on 11 inch rims.

Salesman at Forgestar told me that they could build the wheels to my specifications. That I shouldn't have any issues at stock height. Delivery is going to be 12 weeks.
Front: 19x9.5 ET +30 & 265/35R19
Rear: 20x11 ET +55 & 305/30R20

11 inch rim with +55 ET.
It might actually work.
That white thing is plastic protective guard around the rim. 1/10" beyond that is the space required for Michelin PS 4S in 305.
I'm looking into a cheap set of tires to test before dropping $2K on those Michelin.

I imagine if you were not lowered 20mm these 27" tires would fit?
With the extra 20mm I should be able to run those. Do you believe that assumption correct?
thanks

Possibly, but I ditched this tyre setup and went to 305/30/19 AR-1’s for street duties and had a set of 18” rears made so I could run 305/35/18’s at the drags.
Overall diameter is 26.5” so no scrubbing out even with full car.
#41
not doing anything crazy do have plans to go a tad bit wider in the rear once these PSS run out
Vossen wheels, a little push outward
Front 19x8.5+30 on 245's
Rear 19x9.5+45 on 265's
car rides really good

11" wide rims just don't fit, without some effort.
Fuel inlet on the right side is a problem. Unfortunately I had to add 12mm spacer.
+55ET - 12mm Wheel Spacer
Final Rear Spec: 20x11 +43ET
Continental SportContact 6 295/30ZR20
Left side just has a wiring harness.
I rolled and pulled the fender. I might as well move up to 11.5" or 12" rims if I'm going to cut and weld.

As of now, I gained some experience with this car.
At stock height 20x11 will work- If you are willing to stretch the fender. I think doing several cut and fill areas on the fender is a better idea. The area where the bumper cover connects could be cut and flanged out. So the original bumper cover can still be used. I only want to extend the original design- Just a minor extension of the original design. With no bolt on plastic crap.
305’s should be on an 11.5” wheel to run correctly. After I upgrade the turbos I might try 20x11.5 +38 ET to run 305/30ZR20.
I’ll do mine 1st before taking orders.

Anyone running 18” setup staggered or squared here for track use? If so what wheels you have, tire size, and offset on the wheels please!
also, anyone know what year and model these come from? They’re 18” wheels but no offset info from seller.. supposedly original from Mercedes
