C63s
Lightbulb winter tire size

Hello

Winter is coming and I got no winter rims/tires for my C63s (w205). I want to save my summer rims - we got a lot of salt on the roads in Denmark in winter so pretty hard on the rims.

My car got Ceramic brakes on and my question is - Can I fit 18 inch winter rims on or is the brakes to big?

Thanks for your help. Btw I am new to the MBworld forum. Seems like a cool place to a have good petrol chat.

18s won't fit C63s, only the non-s.

I was in the same situation last year for my 2019 C63s. I just decided to put snow tires on my stock multi staggered black rims 19/20. I purchased the no deductible unlimited Tire and Rim package. I have used it a number of times for curb rash. Usually takes 2-5 days at the MB Dealership and they supply a loaner.
When I started to look for winter tires in October 2019 ( Tire Rack) it appeared my size were not available or a 2-3 week backorder. He informed me thst once they run out that it gor the year. I then called the tire specislist at MB Dealership and was informed they could have them the next day. They were Pirelli Scottozero 3. I ordered them that day, the tirrs came in the next day and the Dealership stored them for about a month until end of Nov. at which time had them installed.
This past tuesday I had snow tires installed at a local Tire/Wheel shop.
This past saturday with summer tires still on I took a mostly steady 2 hour drive around NYC area. The temp was a cold raw damp 43° F. Just before ending my drive I photo my tire temperature (summer tires). See photo.
I would suggest, if you have not already, to obtain these tires especially if it's a Daily Driver.
