'09 E550 4Matic & Staggered Wheels

I know that some here think that one should not set up their E550 4Matics with a staggered set up, but I want to. Will the following work to anyone's knowledge?

245/35ZR19 with 8.5" width wheels front
275/30ZR19 with 9.5" width wheels rear

That's the exact set up I have on my '05 4matic... It works fine, other than in snow, the wide rears tend to break loose easy because of the width...

Born and raised in Bethel Park.

I would only ride the staggered wheels April to November. Live in Cleveland now.
