I'm thinking you can as you can spec 19" wheels on a new C63s (9.0x19F/10,5x19R). I am just unsure of the offset on the 10.5x19 rears on this option..
Any help here would be appreciated as then I can figure out an aftermarket wintwr tire set up.

Maybe I misspoke but what I meant by square was a 19" wheel on each corner instead of the 19"F/20"R. Hence my question - can I take a TireRack recommended wheel package for a C63 couple (19" rears) and be confident that it will fit my C63s?

If i go for a square setup on Michelin Alpines 255/35/19, it ends up being about $2500CAD for Tires + aftermarket rims from Costco. Feels like this protects my existing AMG rims, but... still need to purchase another set.
Given its a lease i'm a bit confused... maybe I can sell the winters at the end of the lease and recoup some of the cost.

Even though you have a lease, you'll still be able to recoup some value for your winter wheels and tires (if they don't fit your next new vehicle). That's what Craigslist is for!

Agree. My Jaguar F-Type R lease was up this year (hence the C63s purchase) and I got about 50% of the cost of my winter wheel set up back selling through the Jaguar owners forum. The performance difference between dedicated winter tires and summer tires at temperatures below 40 deg f is night and day.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Love X-Ice, which belongs to the class of true studless winter tires that are barely short of being studded. Performance winter tires as mentioned by the OP are somewhere between all-season and true winter tires.

I own 2019 C63S Coupe and live NYC area and this is my DD.
I purchased Tire and Rim warrenty.
Still not sure if I should purchase Winter Tire and Wheel package for $3.451.00 or just put winter tires on stock rims?

Do you have the wheel specs (or part numbers)? Be pretty easy to then cross reference with TireRack to see what will fit
TireRack costs with Pirelli Sottezero serie 2, TPMS, fitted, balanced and delivered is $2k.

If you buy a complete set of wheels and tires at TireRack and purchase the tire pressure monitors, they'll come fully mounted, assembled, and inflated. No fuss no muss. Then just drive them to a local CarX or wherever is closest and get them installed.
I haven't tried it yet, but is it safe to assume that all four tires will fit comfortably in the trunk of the C63s Sedan as long as the rear seats are folded?

18" rim tire fit question
I bought a set of 18" AMG rims for no non-S coupe.
I've decided on the Pirelli Sottozero 3 but the max size is 275 for the rears. Does anyone know if a 275/40/18 will fit comfortably the rim that normally takes a 285 tire? Or should I go 275/45/18 instead?

dunno about the tire fitment but typically the skinner tires will dig deeper into the snow for better traction...

I purchased Tire and Wheel package when new which has no deductible and includes cosmetics. So may just put these Pirelli on my beautiful forged cross spike black wheels which are covered by warranty.

I'd get a few more cars, but living in Brooklyn and street parking isn't something we can afford...
