Upgrade to 18" AMG Issues
I understand on my 17" stock staggered wheels, I can't rotate them. Due to a lot of driving, I do about 75 miles a day and I'm sure I won't get the estimated miles from my tires. I also wanted the 18" AMG rims because they are far better looking as well.
So, when I go 18, do they have to remain staggered? Can I get the same size all around and if so, does that have any negative impact on the electronic traction and/or 4matic system?

Do be prepared to give up some ride comfort when you give up 17s, in case that is a concern. We went from OE 18 to 17 on our E Class for that very reason, and it worked!

Thanks guys. Ride comfort is ok. I'll handle and manage it. So the front size all around. Direct fit as mentioned, no offset or figment issues?
Can't wait for the summer to come around so I can upgrade. I just blew money in all season tires for now.

I had AMG 18" 5 spokes (the gunmetal ones) on my 2013 4M all summer. They were staggered, 235/40 fronts, 255/35 rears, no issues. Make sure you have the right lug nuts and center caps, as they differ for each wheel, usually.

Look for a 44 offset rims at 8 wide then use 225 tires all around. This will give you a almost flush look. Dont go 8.5 wide then use 225s as it will look a little stretched.
