Depending on if you want your car lowered you may be able to cut it although it will be very close. You are talking about a 23.5mm difference in the sidewall between the recommended and the one you got, which can cause major rubbing issues.

You don't want the A/S anyway....

avoid it at all costs. The tire has an inherent right pull problem that shows itself on many cars, especially Benz. You're going to find your self limited in tires in 19" sizes anyway, but avoid the A/S like the plague. There are several discussions around this board about it, check the archives.
