I just ordered my new Wheels they should be in, in about a month or so. New set of HRE R101's in Satin Bronze. David @ Wheels Boutique hooked it up. I will be putting 305's or 295's on my rear as well. But we will see what works best. My shop thinks I can make the 305's work.

Originally i was running these michelins tire 255/35/19s front & 295/30/19s rear on cross spoke OEM wheel. The tires were bulging especially in the rears since i was running 8.5 fronts & 9.5 rears but no rubbing issues at all. Currently running Al13forged wheel 9.5 x 19s front & 10.5 x 19s rear. Very nice, Fancy & light wheels too. It makes a lot different when you run the right size tires 295s on the right wide wheel size like 10.5 handling is way a lot better straight and cornering! Over all the car looks very meaty. After 2 weeks of driving the car with no issues i decided to lower it by .70 inch and it started to rub in the rears! I know a lot of c63s sedan here were running 295s rear on stock wheels lowered with no issues at al but once you change the wheel to make it more wider like 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears thats were you start having issues. I have a pretty aggressive set up since am running 3pc stepped LIP on 19s and still manage to have a good amount of concave ( see side shot photos) Correct me if am wrong the more aggressive offset the more concave but the wider wheel you get for the c63s sedan the more you have to be conservative on the offset and you ended up pretty flat centers. With the help of camber kits front and rear and fine tune in the alignment shop now i can say 255 and 295 is the widest i can go no issues. Later i might go back to 285/30 19s and tune my camber to 1.8 degrees hopefully let see... hehe I really like more TRACTION/ grip
on a straight line.

Hey mate 10.5 Standard height no issues at all @ ET58 295s. lowered rubbing the FENDER when running 70 miles per hr approaching uneven roads . After camber 100 percent no rubbing but still 295 i believe it pushing to the limit or probably the widest you can go or maybe I have aggressive offset on 10.5 wide.. Imight try 285 later on.

Hey mate, nice tires! I'm getting 295/35/R19 for my rear and 265/35/R19 for my front, and I'm also considering lowering my car, just wondering what camber kits did you get? And does H&R spings give you any noise? Thank you!
