For a c63 sedan on stock suspensions. I dont plan to lower the car!
Will a 285/40/18 18x9.5 +53 fit in the rear?
These are on a aftermarket wheels that pokes 3mm out than stock wheels
The front wheels are +32 offset.
What tire specs should i be running to fit these?
What are other people running on their front and rears?
I've looked at wheels calculators and compared this spec to a common size most owners of c63's run. 295/30/19 19x10.5 +56-58. It looks like the wheels will definitely fit, but running 285/35 or 285/40 it looks like the tires will bulge out alot.
My my concerns are whether the tire bulge would clear the fenders or not
This is indeed a weird size, but i cannot find much wheels with the offset of 56 online.
Summer is just around the corner and i dont have time to wait for a custom set of forged wheel. I have to replace these winters tires, as they're wearing really quickly from this warm weather that we're having.
I want to stay with 18's because the roads here in nyc is horrific!
If i can get any inputs i would be more than thankful!
From my experience changing tire widths on the same size wheel, I believe the sidewall on a 285 on a 9.5 rim will bulge a bit more than on say a 10.5 rim, but not enough to interfere with the fenders at stock height.

The 285 tires with +53mm offset will stick out 4mm than my setup, which is already close. I would not be worry about a 285 bulging in a 9.5 rim, that's within the spec for a 9.5 rim. Diameter of the 285/40 is also a little larger but will not cause an issue.
So, you just have to watch those 4mm extra poke. Here are two pictures of my setup in rear (before lowering), again your tires would poke 4mm more.

Thank you for the inputs and the picture! Do you think you would rub if your tires poked out 4mm more?
It seems like a tight fit, im just trying to gather as much information before i confidently buy the tires and wheels

Will be close but if you don't plan on lowering it may never get to that point. I am about to lower and my offset (+57) with the tire/rim combo is pretty close to what you can do w/o rubbing. Also, I have 10.5 rims, which makes the tire sidewall a bit more square than 9.5 (looks a little stretched on the pictures but is not really a stretch by standard terms)
