Winter Tire Question

Can the 18" rims off a regular S class fit over the calipers of the S63?

If not... what complications would happen if I used 275 35 20's all around instead of the stock staggered setup?

Winter is coming up and I need another set of rims and tires.

I may just go 255 35 20 all around... nobody in here seems like they want to assist us.

Thanks for your response. I went that route, the only option available apparently for 275 35 20 is Pirelli SottoZero and I don't like that brand. They also cost $2500 CAD for all 4 in the stock staggered fitment.
