You certainly can. It is all about the offsets. MB uses different offsets within the AMG versions of each of it's models, ie "SL", "S", "E" etc. Offsets range from 30mm to around 46MM or so amongst them. The SL has 30mm front with 33mm rear using mixed tires 255/40r18 & 285/35r18 respectively. (See attachment from your owners manual.)
You can also use this tool to play around with aftermarket rim and tire combinations that would also work. Some of the aftermarket rims are pretty nice, check out the photo gallery here and at Benzworld.
Good Luck, Bob
