Unless the brakes on that year are a lot bigger than I think they are you should be fine - you should be able to eyeball that.
You are just going to need to bump up a notch in profile, to compensate for the smaller diameter wheel. Run a 235/45/17 tire.
I would run that all the way around if you are in an area where you are actually expecting snow.

I really been doing research past few days. I looked at dozens of tire shops online only a few of them in the tire configurator say 17 inch will fit such as tirerack.com.
i think I will play it safe go with 18 inch...Would a square setup of 235/40R18 with 18x8 rims work on this car? the stock factory summer tires are 235/40r18 18x8 front and 255/35r18 18x9 rear....its really hard to find staggered winter tires on these odd sizes mercedes puts on these cars.
