Only MBs - the best or nothing
If you're not lowered, then no rubbing should take place.
As far as different tires with same wheels/offsets. Again only if you're not lowered, rear 265/30-20 tires (this is what I'm using on 9.5" et33 wheels, which is almost the same as 10" et38) will minimize protrusion passed fenders from about 1/3" to about 1/4". Ideally you would want 10" wide wheel with et44-45.

Same reason one would use 285/25 rear instead of 275/25 - a bit more protection for wheels. BTW 255 is E63 OEM and fits non AMG W212 with room to spare (I even fitted 265/30-20 on 9" upfront without any rubbing just to see if it fits).
For 4matic you want to keep front/rear as same diameter as possible, hence 245/30 & 285/25.

I really hope it will fit and not rub
Think i would try the 285/25-20 first and see how it runs.
Will it look stupid with stock hight?

285/25 at 38et will stick out about 3/8".. and you will have large wheel gap at stock height.. My opinion, wont look good. You have to consider also certain tires have this 'lip" acts as a wheel protector.. makes the tire look like it sticks out even further..

Have tried the wheels, looks good actually!
Think it would be better with 275/30 tires?

275/30 will elivate any need to lower (you'll need to go with 235/35 front then).
285/30 (if it even fits) will most likely rub.
