I just put 235/40/18 on my car yesterday. It was fine. But what wheel size are you using? If you have 18x8 wheel, the ideal tire size in the front should be 224/40/18, but if you have 8.5x18, then you should use 235/40/18.

H & R cup kit, running 235/40-18, never rub.

But, if you get the wrong wheel offset, you will.....now don't start, wheel offset accounts for about 1/4 of all the MB questions I've seen about current model cars
