You could always snag a 507 coupe and get the W205 a few years down the line (LCI maybe)? I'm a bad influence, I know.

Also, KennyPowers (or anyone still interested in the tire width discussion), regarding tire width, I forgot to add earlier that even during aggressive daily driving, 99% of drivers won't be able to discern 265-section rears from 255-section. Nor would these drivers be able to make any good use of additional tire width.

It seems like this tire width fetish is more of a looks thing than a performance thing.

Honestly, I'm always most concerned with whether there's a good selection of R-Compound tires available, rather than with what width (try saying that out loud three times fast) the engineers have ultimately chosen.

its a great motor

I really enjoy the c63 LCI. its a very good car, too bad its auto only. I would own one if it came in 6mt

EDIT : ybizz. just because people use these cars mostly for grocery store runs and cant drive, doesn't mean the car shouldn't come with more appropriate running gear. to me its a mistake. and bigger wheels and tires wouldn't stop the car from being able to burn out or drift. hell, a torqueless e92 zcp (9/10 inch wheels) can burn out and drift all day

The new C63 would be perfect with 285's

My buddy has 285's on his C63 sedan, no rubbing what so ever.

These days it seems to me AMG are saving the wider wheels/tires for the Black Series models.

You wouldn't believe what just happened.

AMG has publicly come out and confirmed that the leaked wheel and tire sizes that were published in the standard W205 ordering guide were INCORRECT.

Looks like we may be seeing some fatter tires after all.

See my above post.

Yeah, Kinda figured after seeing the pic and realizing the

Code: 782 18" AMG 5-Spoke 7.5J X 17??? 8.5J X 17??? Shouldn't that be code 790?

Yep that was a good spot by you.

Ya I have a current W204 C63 with P30 and I love it. Had an e92 M3 right before it. Ill be honest the M3 handled better (obviously) and didnt set off the traction control as often, but ive never had more fun flooring it and hearing the 6.2 pull away. I cant wait to see what the new C63 has to bring.
Anyways, I think most of these guys that complain about the skinny tires mostly do it because wider look better. And yes I agree they do. But the change in tire size doesnt do much. I went up to 265s and feels about the same. And if the traction control bothers you just turn it off and tear them up!

Nice to see a fellow C63 owner. Any photos?

Also, I see that you have the P30 package. Is your C63 the pre-LCI/pre-facelift version? If so, then I would agree regarding the handling comment. However, to me, the LCI version felt quite a bit different (firmer ride, sharper turn-in).

I enjoyed the pre-LCI version too though. Almost got one of those as well a few years ago but would've been forced to take a bath on getting out of my E90 M Sport 335i early.

Boring

BTW, nice 1M! You ever track it? There was a used one available at the time I got my '13 C63. There were lots of things I liked about it (bulldog-looking stance from the front, fun to throw around, rarity, etc.) but after hearing/feeling that 6.2L NA V8 scream from 5.5k out to redline, my mind was made up.

Looking forward to more details! I've always loved the c63

Scream? M156 barks, it does not scream

This is a screaming M156:

Thanks! Ya its the pre LCI version. Love the LCI, but got a great deal on this on locally. And its loaded up so I couldnt pass ha. Ill try and find a pic. Not sure what I have. Ive heard the LCI feel quite a bit better, but havent driven one so cant give my thoughts. I almost dont want to haha so I dont ruin my current experience!

Lol...I meant I think the styling seems kind of boring....for my tastes anyway. Just wish it had a little bit of fender flares and wasn't so square looking. Im sure the engine will be great and wouldn't mind having it in the 1M . I was actually really looking forward to the previous c63 coupe but I just couldnt get behind the styling of it. I understand that some people prefer the "sleeper" look and sometimes I would agree but a car with this badassnes to it should show it, imho.

love the direction Mercedes is going
