AWD W218 Tire Size
I know its been debated in other threads ( I searched) but can't seem to find proof on the 14+ AWD cars if a 265/35/19 front and 305/30/19 rear tire size combo will
- Fit without rubbing on stock setup (the black and polished factory 19x9 wheels)
- Work fine and not cause 4matic issues (this tire size combo is within MM of each other in overall height)
My concern is if the 4matic is programmed/designed to work with the factory tire height differences from the 255/285 combo and will freak out if it sees a variation from that. I've seen this combo run on the RWD 218 cars, can't find any AWD running them.
The factory tires are in need of replacement, hoping to go a bit wider all around.
Cheers

Only MBs - the best or nothing
305/30-19 will not fit stock's rear 10" rims - the minimum rim's width is 10.5". You can fit 265/35 front and 295/30 rear on stock wheels (assuming your rears are 10" and not 9.5") with zero issues.
