'98 E320 4Matic, '85 380SL
probably not

On the 4matic, all four of your wheels need to be turning at exactly the same angular speed. If, say, the overall diameter of your back wheels is larger than the front, the traction control will think that your front tires are slipping and brake them. It's very difficult to get overall diameters *exactly* the same with different size rims. You really should stick with the same sizes on all four corners.
