Hey Tire Rack, Whats Status On Getting C63 Wheels?
Was looking for an update for listing wheels on your web site for the C63 AMG. I should have my 09' next week if you need a figment car.

I am, but since my first order got *** up by MB / AMG my new bill date is September 10th with October delivery. If you still have nothing by then, we will talk again.

Since there was an 08 car and nothing changed, what was used on the 08's?
I am about two to three tankfuls of gas away from South Bend - but yea, what's the "in it for me" component?

duping post from c63 forum here....
I drove the 120 miles one way to Tire Rack today. Was greeted by a fantastic bunch of folks.
Met with their engineer who measured every possible aspect of the car - in some very high tech ways. I asked if I could take pix to share with you all, but they are considering this a competitive advantage. Having witnessed it, yea, I'd say they're light years ahead.
So, the info you've all been waiting for....
We take the 18" fitment from the E63. The E is slightly more restrictive in that there is a strut that sticks into the tire area a bit, but overall it's the same.
I'm told the C63 will be on the Tire Rack website within the next two weeks. However, you should feel confident in going with an E63 tire/wheel package.
Hi praise to my rep Gavin - folks, please ask for him as he knows the setup now and can help you get something ordered.
Oh - one more thing to note, our cars need a heavy duty load tire due to the torque - so keep that in mind when ordering rubber which is 18x225-40.
Let me know if you have other questions.

'08 C63 Blk/Blk,'07 CLS63 (sold),'05 E55 Blk/Blk 20" Brabus S (sold),'04 E55 silver/Blk
I believe the factory 18" offset is 45F/54R.If the E63 has the same offset as the E55,it is somewhere around 35F/40R from memory.So how can E63 wheels fit a C63?
