C64 Sedan Larger Rear Tyres

[jih2000]

Hi,

From reading on here it looks like people suggest i can go to 265" rear tyres (factory is 255") on 19" oem rims. I am doing this to provide a little more traction.

Bit of a stupid question, but going to this larger size is are the tyres going to protrude more outward and look a bit naff, or is there some leeway on the rims to accomodate.

Thanks

And I know before anyone says anything, C63 had not had my morning coffee

It's only 5mm extra either side, it'll look fine.

Hope so. Anyone have any photos of 265x19"x30 tyres fitted to stock rims on their cars?

My one has stock tyres ContiSportContact 5P which are good, but might try ContiSportContact 6, any opinions on these for grip?

Thanks
