New Vossen Rims...need help with tire sizes!
Hey everyone. I bought some Vossen S17-01s and need help fitting some tires and wanted to see what everyone thought as a recommendation as they're wide since they were previously built for an e63s... understandably think i gotta roll these fenders...keep in mind the rims will come closer to fender when car has tires on and will sit down and camber in.
Car: C63s Sedan
Lowered on H&R Springs
Previously ran 285s on stock rims.
Rear Vossen: 19x11 ET49
Front Vossen: 19x9.5 ET33
Also looking to refinish wheels so they pop more. Gold i think is the winning choice right now.

I have 10.5 et 50 with 295/30 r888r and I needed to dial in a bit more neg camber to keep from rubbing outer fender. Yours will poke out 7mm more..might have to run a rubber band

Not going to work if you are lowered . I was running 20x 10.5 +52 and they rubbed , swapped to 20x10 +57 and run 285/30/20 and had to trim the bumper slightly to clear , now no problem . You will need to run a 25 series and stretch the crap out of it and being its +49 its 100% going to rub bad . A 20x10.5 +57 will clear but not your +49

I wouldn’t call it fit when you have to dialed in even more negative camber. Our car already running around -1.5 camber. After dropped, you’ll be around -2.5 which will eat your tires in 5k miles. So assuming he’s running around -3 degrees camber or more so the tires have clearance. I’m just guessing.

Pretty sure someone else ran an 11” rear, but was around +60 offset. Wonder how the inner clearance will be?

Send them back, dude. They won't work. Only way is for custom fabrication for a similated wider rear quarter panel. You will lose coin if you keep going and mess up the car in the process.... GL,

Depends. How much camber are you willing to run and how much stretch on your tires? To answer this question, you will have to run a trial and error approach.
With you being on H&R springs, it will end up looking funny since your wheel gap will make the camber look more pronounced.
