Man that's too much width for that rim. You're losing your sidewall stiffness and a lot of handling characteristics. Might be good in a straight line, but I would be scared if serious lateral G's were in play.

Am in South Sj!! What color is your 63? We just had a meet few weeks ago. Mb group in south bay getting bigger bro

It is bulging but not so bad in person. Am not tracking this car so am not worried. Am just confirming if someone tried 11 x 19s here then upgrade to maximize my tires otherwise i will end up with 10.5. Thanks for your input mate.

SBH-

I'm running Michelin PSS 285/35/19 rear and 265/35/19 front on my stock wheels and I gotta say I love the fat tires at the back! however, I noticed that with the 285/35 the cars booty is lifted a bit, that would be explained by the sidewalls of the 285 being 35. at first the shop fixed me 285/30's but I hated the look really .. tires looked so small from the side

I agree as well, not sure if the tire is too wide or it's happy to see you. LOL

I think 285/35 on the rear is the best compromise.

Still can't decide between 255 or 265 up-front though.

255 would only be an increase of 10mm (while the rear increased by 20mm). It could lead to more understeer for the car.
265 would match the 20mm increase in the rear, but may be too wide for the front wheel and bulge too much.

If you already got Michelin PSS, going 265 up front allows you to put the rear tire on the front wheel and then all you have to do is buy a new rear tire.

I got Continental ExtremeContact Sport, so I'd be swapping all 4 to Michelin PS4 anyway.

Thanks for the info!

Can you please share some pictures of the 265/35 on the front wheel?

Thanks!

KJ

Star4life

Just wanted to add to this thread. 285/30/19 is now available in PS4S as of April 1st 2021

Ill be running 255/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear on stock c63 19" forged sedan wheels

shane060

Any pics on how it ended up looking? I'm debating on 285 35 or 285 30 on the rear with the oem multi spoke wheels and can't decide what looks best and matches better with the fronts upping a size to 255 35.
