C63S
I am looking for this info too. I know for sure you can't go down to an 18" wheel because it will not fit over the brakes!

what he said running 18s is not possible. I got my C63s last Jan and firs thing i did was put a set of Vredstein Wintrax on the car(well and tint) its was my first RWD car and had no issues driving it in the NJ ice and snow. I put them on my stock wheels and have a summer setup with PSS tires. i remounted the Winters once again for this winter and had no issues again. they are great tires.

It's a small world, I'm also interested in this, I also live in NJ, and I just sold my M3 snow tires/wheels on the BMW forum!
18s are definitely not possible on the C63S and in fact lots of 19s don't fit either.

I posted most of the details of my wheel and tire package in my "hello and intro" thread. but here is a quick recap
Front 245/35/19
Rear 255/35/19
i know they discontinued the one for the front as a NJ pothole took out one on superbowl sunday. so i will have to replace both next season. i will likely go up to a 255/35/19
If you have the stock 19-20 wheels and want to get a second a 19" Flow forged set may work out for you. I may be selling my VFF103 sometime which would make a perfect winter setup for someone.
usaviking what part of jersey you in? dont see many AMG around here(besides the older people in the S class)

This past winter, I ran the Pirelli W240 Sottozero Series 2 tires.
Front: 255/35ZR19
Rear: 285/30ZR19
I loved them, and will definitely continue to use this winter tire, when needed. The ride quality and road noise matches the stock Continental summer tires, and they performed well in all kinds of winter conditions.
