Need advice

makeitbettr · 11-01-2009, 10:15 PM

Hello, I am new to this forum. I have a couple of questions.

I have an ECU flash right now, done by www,fabspeed.com. You can see my car being dyno'd there. I got it flashed with about 900 miles on it. I am not soo impressed, and I was hoping the Kleemann headers, and down pipe would really open it up. I am also having the Carbonio intake Am I headed in the right direction?

Also does anyone know what the widest tires are that fit safely on my C63. If anyone has any tires and wheels to suggest Thank you Men, and Women.

Welcome.

Cannot help you with your first question. Concerning the one about tires, on the OEM 18" rims (they're 9" wide), 275/35 would be the widest according to many members of this forum and according to MB dealerships.

Very good to know. I appreciate it.

275 may be the widest but I think 265 is better for it.

Leave the fronts the same, correct?

Most here seem to run 245's on the front. I'm going 235/265 when I replace the OE rears.

What is your reason for not putting on the 245's

Just a hunch, really - partially based on the desired overall diameter of the respective F&R tire sizes - plus I want play around with inflation pressures to optimize the handling (for me) and see how it works out with that setup.
