It's an s205 but I think they're the same fitment as a w205I'm running 20x9 fronts and 20x10 rears. 255/30 fronts and 285/30 rears. 9.5 fronts is definitely a possibility. My rears are just about perfect
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.

With the right offset 295's on sedan fit. Its tight and need to be careful with offset and lowering. I run 285's on 10.5 now and may go to 295 next.
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)
295/30/19 R888’s (old)
305/35/19 Micky Thompson (to big 27” tall)
305/30/19 AR-1’s (current street)
Note: Rear guards are rolled to allow max tyre/guard clearance for 305’s
Drag setup
BC Forged 18x10.5 et57
305/35/18 Micky’s

Nice summary, I followed that when ordering my BC forged. Quick question: w/o camber kit in rear would you expect the 295 to rub on 10.5 with +57mm offset as your street setup? I have the same just in 20' and use 285's but no camber kit.

Im not to sure as it’s been a longtime.
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.

Thanks for the info RDO247
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.

No, guards were only rolled after doing my turbo upgrade and fitting the 305’s.
Wheels and tyres have no poke as the et57 is actually the factory rear wheel offset.

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.

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.
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

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

Wow, we’re going back on an old thread now.
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.
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.

OEM+ double staggered setup. Running PS4s 265/35/19 fronts & 295/30/20 rears. Might even be able to squeeze 305s on with a small spacer but its a tight fit.
