C63 - Michelin Pilot Super Sport - oversize?

[Funtimee]

Hi there,

Just got myself a C63, loving it so far.

A quick question, is anyone running wider than OEM spec tyres on their C63? I've always ran slightly wider tyres on my M3s etc, not sure what the C63 can take.

Looking to run 10mm spacers as well, but will sacrifice this to get some more rubber under the arches!

Thanks

Widers on the rears will definitely help with traction...

265 on the rears

Thanks, I thought 265 would be no problem but wasn't sure if 275 was a go. FYI anyone looking at this 265/30/19 MPSS are only £160 a pop on black circles!

275s will fit apparently, H20MRV had them fitted to his, he's in an Audi now so doesn't seem to come here anymore.

I never saw them fitted but, apparently, there was no rubbing issues with them.

Sounds promising, might give it a go then. In theory it should be fine if most people run 10mm spacers it will put the tyre edge at the same position relitive to the arch as running 20mm wider tyres.
