4Matic or not doesnt matter, they utilize the same wheel arches and hub fitment as 2WD cars, I hevnt seen ET45 on a 10" wheel in reallife, but Ive seen several pictures on different cars and I think that they are protruding too much, it looks like they fit really bad.

that the overall diameter of the wheel and tire are within 3% of each other front and rear
What are specs for the front
and i will tell you what you can run for the rear
that are all season tires since you drive in the snow.

I know...
Unless you go 3 piece and put like 7 grand into your rims BEFORE painting/shipping/TPMS/tires...
AKA I would've bought an S-Class if I had that kind of money!
But I am just being stubborn because their are a few 2 and 3 piece rims out there for a decent price... But I am picky!
... Time to start saving!

If you're worried about rubbing, you can always do a slight stretch on your tires. 225/35 and 255/30 is what I ran.

I bought 19's and immediately wished I bought 20's. I currently run Pirelli P-Zeros, Lowered on Eibachs, with Mandrus Stutgarts.
20x8.5 ET42 245/30-20
20x10 ET53 285/25-20
No rubbing.
I used to rub with 225/35-20 in the front.
