2003 ML 500 Wheels swap ? Advice ? yes or no ?
i have two sets of staggered AMG 18 inch rims
i was thinking could i put 4 of the same size on my ml ?
The wheels on the truck now are 275/55/18
i could use two sets of rear wheels from the AMG sets
The size is 245/45/18

You will be down grading the handling performance since the tires are more narrow and won't grip the road as well.
245 is almost too narrow unless you drive like a grandma around corners.
Also, sounds like you got the wheels from a sedan, and the tires might not be rated to handle the weight load of an SUV.
