Hi guys Iam fairly new to this forum and all i can say is good thing about this forum and its members. Well my question is about my 07 63 amg pretty soon i will need to due tire change. I was looking into Tireracks results and i fell in love with the goodyears eagle F1 gs-D3 but do not have th require rear tire size of 265/35/18 instead they come in 275/40/18 will it fit the AMG rim?? i also look at the Bridgestone potenza RE 760 any recs??? thanks you in advance, by the way i live in Florida so i dont need snow tires.more like wet conditions

It will fit your rim but your over all diameter will increase by 1.4" going from a 265/35 to a 275/40 plus 275 will not look pretty on a 9" wide rim.

Julian14,

A Goodyear 275/40/18 will work on your car. If tirerack says it will fit, then it will fit. I have 275/30/19 on my E63, fits like a glove. I have General Exclaim, that I ordered from Tirerack. And my car is lowered, no rubbing or bending issues at all. I'm running a 9.5 inch rim out back too. Just make sure you enter your cars make, model and year. The guys at Tirerack know, what will and will not fit your car. If your still ensure, just call them up, and explain things to them, they will give you good advice.

Thanks for the info guys, by the way Yuille i have a set of General Exclaim on my e430 sport that truly love. awesome tires but currently undecided on what tires to go with on my E63??

Those General Exclaim have alot of dry grip, and great in the rain as well. And they have a decent tread wear. This is the first time, I had them on the AMG, we will see how long they last.

Yuille36,

275/40/18 is a horrible size for an E55. It is 5.11% larger in rolling diameter than a 265/35/18.

It is unsafe, and more importantly, uncool to alter rolling diameter by more than 3%.

Call the guys at tirerack and they will tell you the same.

Thanks for the heads up, I was unaware of that fact. I was just speaking to..if they would fit or not. Thanks.

It will fit but it is not the correct (stock) diameter.
