If you get proper tire sizing you won't have issues. 265/275 isn't the right size with the sidewall height some people have. Should be 255/30 not 265/30

well for starters they dont make supersports for 4matics.. i had this crazy thought, if the springs are the same size for the 4matic and rwd, only difference is the weight ratio that the spring holds.. mayb use h&R sports meant for a rwd c300 and put them on a 4matic and u might get supersport results cuz the 4matic is heavier.. crazy concept but the key word is IF..

Yeah you are pretty limited...H&R Sports, Euroteck, or B&G are your options I think.
