If you are going for C tuning then you need some 11 (first string) set at least. 12 would be even better. Yes you will need to setup your guitar for that a bit. Tune your octaves and the action. I don't think I would be able to play that comfortably but the riff will sound pretty death metal

11 or 12, yeah.
And maybe you even wouldn't have to mess around with trust rod, C is low enough and 11-12 is heavy enough so maybe it's perfect match. -------------------- Youtube

Don't be afraid to setup your guitar. If you hear string buzzing on the frets then your bridge needs to be higher. Set it higher until you are happy and that's it.

If you experience any problems like lots of string buzz, lose of sustaing, high action, then you have to do the setup.

Personally, I would use .13 strings, because, if I would want to switch to B tuning, then the strings could become a bit too soft for my taste. But, that's my preference.
