like my title says im curious to see some photos of 285/35/19 on the c63s AMG SEDAN. i am lowered on eibach springs and really dedicated to Nitto as a tire company as i have nothing but good experience with them, i love their NT555 R2 tires for an all around "daily" radial. unfortunately 285/35/19 always seems to be way to thick of a sidewall especially for a 19x9.5 but that is the lowest profile i can get for that tire in a 19". open to suggestions of other tires such as the r888r but those are harder to come by it seems and their wet performance is nothing compared to the nt555r2.
my car is right at 700whp and the toyos cant handle it.
currently on toyo proxies 265/35 - 245/35
looking to go to nt555r2 285/35 - nt555g2 255/35
PFA - any help is appreciated because i hate tire shopping!!
so I see a lot of people say they run 295/30 and a few pics and also see people run 285/35 but no pics lol.
I rolled the dice ordered 285/35 for the rear and 265/35 for the fronts we’ll see what happens 🤷🏻♂️
looking at the specs for the Nitto tires you’re interested in, the narrowest wheel a 265 is recommended to be mounted on is 9”. The sedan front wheels are 8.5”. This is going to cause excessive tire bulge and possible side wall damage.

multiple people claim to run this tire size. Literally all over the forums I just wanted to see how it looked.
just responded to your same post on FB, looks you already bought what you want. 285 on 10.5 rear not ideal, rim is too narrow and it will look bulged and theoretically our of spec for safety. Nitto G2 - almost killed me some time ago in rain, will never buy Nitto again.

I don’t have 10.5 wheels mine are only 9.5 in the rear I have a pre face lift car.
sorry, my typo - intended to say 9.5 OEM (I have 10.5). 285 on 9.5 - not a good fit.
ive run a 285 on a 9.5 before the difference isn’t that drastic from the standard 265. See chart below and the 285 on had on my wife 9.5 wheel on her stinger.
like I know it’ll fit the wheel I just wanted to see the clearance in the wheel wells lol based off my measurements they should fit, guess we’ll see end of next week.

Nice stinger...but its not the question of if it fits the wheel well but the width of the 285 vs a narrow 9.5" rim. Possible (and even wider tires), of course...recommended for safety reasons, not.
good chance on why you got that traction issue, if the tires aren’t great easy to lose grip in the corners.
you just gave me superb confidence though in this fitting, thanks man!
In past threads I read the ECU/TCU thinks the tires are rotating too much or too slow and it throws the TC off. But others said going from 30 to 35 is minimal and shouldn't cause the issue. Either way it went away after a few thousand miles in my case.
