I'm running 305's on my 16 C63's Sedan. I do get some minor rubbing when I have people in the car but potentially could go away if I pull the fenders some.
You need to fit K-Mac camber kits to preserve your tyres mate. I was 3 sets of tyres in 18 months.
Now perfect ware across front and rear tyres after another 18 months, seriously worth fitting these.
As for rear pads, I think I went through 2 sets then upgraded to Porterfield.
Much better life, less dust and little to no squeak.
Search RDO247 for all my posts on upgrades and changes I’ve done over the last 3 yrs.
Hope this is helpful for everyone.
My problem isn’t uneven wear, it’s my lead foot...
Thanks for the the tips on pads, I’ll check them out. I don’t want to reduce stopping power or initial bite, but I’m not as concerned about those on the rear pads.
Thx RDO247! Also thx for your input with wheel sizing!
Just need to work out if I increase the Tyre profile in the rear to 295/35/19 or decrease the fronts to 265/30/19. This will give it the correct ratio front to rear wheel diameter. I feel that maybe traction control kicks in a little to early? But then again I want to confirm if the front wheels have any bearing on traction control. Eg(ratio of front wheels rotations to rear wheel through the ABS)
Will 18s clear the rear calipers? That will allow a 305 to fit a little better. I was thinking a Nitto NT05R would be plenty adequate for a stage 1 tune setup for the strip.
Im using the original rear tyres for the front. 265/35/19
Ideally 265/30/19 for the front. Will eventually change to this size as this will correct the ratio of front -rear wheel diameter. Also will look better.

295/18/45 loaded on the 2019+ Coupe rear wheel. I think they’re 18x10.5 with et+55. I’m lowered on H&R springs, zero rubbing. At the track getting ready to race my friends X3M

there’s a chance it’s only 40 sidewall, that’s the only thing I don’t remember. They’re not on the car atm for me to look. But yea, the LCI 18” coupe wheels that are 10.5” wide.

Stock rear wheels on coupe are 18x10.5 +57ET, stock rear tires are 285/35ZR18.
