GLA45 Wheelset question

My 45 came with 8x20s 235 40 tires
I am interested in going to 18s w/ 235 50 tires
I plugged these sizes into the calculator and the diameter and circ are within .5% so that part is good i think

What i question is the amg suspension ok with this ? I don't want to mess anything up. The manual lists 7 1/2 x 18 et 43.5 with a 215 55 snow tire---what i want to use is 8x18 et 42 235/50 all season. Is this ok and does it require allignment or ride height adjustment ? thanks

May I suggest shooting an email to tire rack? They may be more knowledgable if a certain wheel/tire combination would work. Myself, I wouldn't want to post any misinformation and guide someone in the wrong direction.

thanks, mercedes will sell me a suitable wheel w/ the exact spec including 43.5 offset, but they want $5 k for a set lol and will only do an allignment with there own wheel. I will emaIL tire rack and look for more forums out there on the internet with actual people on them
