295's on cheap wheels?

I ordered a 2020 C63s sedan that will be here in October, just trying to find some wheels now. I was pretty set on picking up some HRE FF04's with a 19x10.5 in the rear. But was just informed that HRE doesn't allow custom offsets for those wheels and the only way to get wider tires is to have a wheel custom built for the car (way more money than I wanted to spend). Is anyone running 295s or 305s on inexpensive wheels? Inexpensive being under $3,500 for the set. What are some wheels that would work for this?

BC Forged has some nice monoblock (better than flow formed) wheels that might fit your bill.

I'm thinking about going to an 11" wheel with a 295 or 305 on back and keep the stock size up front. Not sure what offset to get with an 11" wheel on back.. I'll keep the stock suspension, and don't want poke.

That guy is running an 19x11 with a +60 offset it looks like. I think I remember reading that he didn't want to use them when he was doing autocross though. Not sure if they rubbed when really pushing it.

Thanks. I'll look into them more. Any idea what size to ask for? It sounds like...

Front: 19x9.5 et 30
Rear: 19x10.5 et 57

I believe that car was lowered. I also believe it is a pre-2019 car, and the stock wheel sizes were different. For 2019, the wheel sizes changed to 9" on front and 10.5" on back with changes to the offset as well.

The current stock sizes for the sedan are 9X19 et45 and 10.5X19 et 56.

From the 2020 order guide...



Are you sure about those sizes?

Can post facelift cars go wider?

That's odd. So either the ordering guide is wrong, or the made the wheels an inch skinnier for 2020...

For the 2019 C63S sedan I can confirm that these are the sizes:

Tires
- Front - Michelin PSS 245/35 R19
- Rear - Michelin PSS 265/35 R19

AMG Twin 5-Spoke Wheels - RSW - PN: A 205-401-05-01
- Front - 8.5J x 19 H2 ET 38
- Rear - 9.5J x 19 H2 ET 56

It seems to be unchanged for 2020 which was my understanding as well.

mbusa.com lists incorrect specs for the 2019 C63S sedan which I noticed as well - 9x19 with 245/40R19 for the front and 10.5x19 with 265/35R19 for the rear.

The 2019 order guide I had a while ago listed also listed these incorrect specs again. 245/40R19 on 9.0Jx19 ET45 for the front and 265/35R19 on 10.5Jx19 ET56 for the rear.

Well, if that ain't the sheeets!

Now the question is, how wide (and what offset) will fit on the sedan with stock suspension and no poke/rub?

Now I’m thoroughly confused. I just measured the barrel widths on my optional cross-spoked wheels, and they measure 9.0” and 10.5”.

The 265s on the rears have the same mild stretch as the 265s did on my Cayman GTS 10.5” wheels. I would expect a much more square fit on 9.5” wheels.

Car is a ‘19 sedan that is completely stock.

Only thing I know for sure is they will come off and be precisely measured before I order replacements!

I have the standard 5-spoke 19" wheels on my C63S sedan. The front tires were 245/35R19 as opposed to 245/40R19 as listed on the mbusa specs / order guide, hence figured that the specs were incorrect.

Also all the part numbers I searched for these wheels showed part numbers A 205-401-05-01 (front) and A 205-401-06-01 (rear). Google search returns this german pdf which also shows the same part numbers, wheel dimensions, offsets along with the photos. The optional wheels have the same dimensions as the standard wheels.

I haven't measured the wheel dimensions myself yet, but do share what you find (also do snap a photo of the back of the wheel if you could containing thee part number and the offsets).

Will be taking them off to get the stamping info off the back. Will be a while though as I’ll be gone the next several weekends.

Tires are 265/35 and 245/35.

BC Forged Monobloc can be had for close to that price bracket

otherwise go with a flow formed wheel that meets the specs

the DOG is correct.

~19x10 et 50-55 w/ 295 should work really well for stock suspension on sedan
