Does anyone run 265 35 18 on the back of a c63 amg

I'm thinking of putting Bridgestone all round and I might go with 265 on the back and 255 on the front.
Thoughts?

Why do you plan to fit different tyre sizes?

There's an yeti type guy on here who runs 305's on the back of his CLS55, including some regular warp speed autobahn runs, and he has no problems. Standard they would be 285, so it seems oversizing can be done, provided there aren't clearance issues.

There's that old chestnut about invalidating insurance as you've moved away from original spec, but when I considered a larger tyre on mine (295 as I couldn't get 285 in Eagle F1's) Aviva weren't interested - might be best to check with your insco.

I plan to run wider tyres to make use of the extra grip it will give. I've been in the tuning game for a long time now, and I had 265 on my Evo XRS when I bought some new wheels for it.
I'm due some new rubber so I thought I would ask to find out if there were any rubbing issues etc

My C63 has 19" wheels and I've just changed the rears from 255/30/19 to 265/30/19 it's a lot more grippier and the tyres actually worked out cheaper.

265 19" are fine on the rear, but 255 sound way too wide on the front.

I ran 265 rear and stayed standard on the front.
