2003 E320 rear tire size

I have a 2003 E320 sport. The car comes standard with 245/45/17 all around. Can I put 255/45/17 in rear and leave the front 245/45/17? Can anyone give me some advice?

Do you have 4Matic? I am not familiar with 4Matics but I know that for Audi's Quattro system you need all four corners to match or you will cause damage to the drivetrain. If it is RWD, then I do not see a problem running wider tires in the back as I see plenty of BMWs run wide tires in the rear. I'm sure someone who knows for sure will chime in.
