Searched high and low. Very curious to see if it has been done on a w215.
If you have pics or experience please share.

Thoughts on potential issues or concerns?

It's possible but unless the total circumference of the wheel tire setup is the same front and rear you will get ABS and Traction control error message in cluster and those will not be operational, so you would need a thicker sidewall on front tires to compensate the 1" lost in wheel size. Doesn't make much sense

Not ideal to upset the vehicle, and a thicker sidewall up front would probably not be the greatest look.
That's that I guess.

I have 275/30 on 20x10 wheels all round. They look and grip great, but they're surface sensitive, and you cannot go near kerbs and potholes EVER.
