Rear Tire Question?

Can you put a 295 on the rear of our cars with the stock wheel without any issues?

I believe the rear stock wheel is 19x9.5, which is 1/2 inch short for proper fitment of 295. Can it be done? sure. Is it ideal? no. The tire wall may bulge out a bit and you may actually experience more roll in hard cornering. Realistically for street driving you probably won't notice much difference.

Has anyone considered... because of the shortage of OEM CLK63 BS tires, using the new Dunlop tires on the new C63 BS..?
I really wonder if they would be better or worst the the Corsa's our cars came with.!

Does anyone think the Corsas are great? My opinion is that they are mediocre. AS

Totally (and utterly) agree. That's why I run the car on PS2's on HRE M40s on the road. The Corsa's are strictly for track use.

Are the C63BS Dunlops available in 265's fronts?

OEM is 255 so on CLK BS may be a bit understeer...but can't say for sure until we see the dunlops. Actually, the dunlop is the Sport Maxx Race M0's...some says it's a Non DOT race rubber so it's doubtful if it will make it to the US market.

I think jrcart ordered one with track pack so maybe he knows.
