Will try and source quotes for 10.5's with shipping to Australia through the week if available.

Can anyone in Africa, German or any other country confirm if the 19 x10.5" Black Cross Spoke is available for any of their W205 C63 variants...
Found this today.

Now the question is:
305s in rear really look bulgy?
And what to put up front?
Guys in the states, where have you been getting your tires mounted to avoid rim damage?

Rears you can pull off with 305s I think.

Would the rear 11x20 cross spoke from the AMG gts, fit the C63s coupe ? if so I am thinking that there would not be so much bulge from 305 tires, and none from 295.

285 on a 9.5 in rim is the widest PROPER size so you don't pull the bead in and round the tread.
You can get by without rubbing on a wider tire I think but it is not properly sized.
even then a 285 is not the preferred size for a 9.5 as it is on the fringe too large. 275 is the largest preferred size

No issues atm, I drive in Sports + with no scrubing, did a run in comfort and no issues there either.
There is is a slight bulge in the side wall of the 30 profile, however, it not bad at all.
I am on on the hunt for the black cross spoke 10.5" to rectify the bulge, however, the look from the rear and the fact I haven't been able to break traction is well worth a little bulge.

ahh mixed opinions, and result is I'm lost now 
295 from the back looks really jawdropping ! 275 wouldn't make a difference in how it looks from the back, I feel.

RD what are you tuning up front 30 or 35? Could you post a side pic of your car, wondering what a 35 in front and 30 in back looks like
Tire shop can't seem to find any Run Flat in 295

No run Flats on my C63S it's fitted with Dunlop Maxx Sports.
Just did a quick measure, fronts are still 245/35/19 and side walls measure approximately 60mm.
The 295/30/19 side walls measure approximately 55mm.
Side on you you can't even notice.

Here's a new thought.... On the coupe:
What if I left the front's as stock on the 19x9's and used a 10mm -12mm spacer, and put a 305 tire on the rear? Is that a terrible idea? The thought of dropping $1600 on brand new tires for a brand new car is giving me indigestion.

Quoted the 19x10.5" cross-spokes that aren't available on the Australian market through a Mercedes dealership here in Australia and wait for it....
$2420.00
EACH
$4840 for two alloy wheels - no tyres
Has anyone priced these up elsewhere?
