Must be a tough thing to do. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...=285%2F30%2F19

If you're planning to ever lower the car, it looks like "definitely" no. There seemed to be a number of E55 and C63 owners who have done/tried using 285/19, with additional work/changes to accommodate.

@airmousam thanks dude that gave me exactly what i needed.
@Fatz i seen that thread i didn't think we'd have the same wheel specs but all signs point to no the only good sizes are 255 or 265/ 30/ 19. I ended up playing it safe and passing on the 285s aint feel like wasting money to risk it not being proper.
