Staggered Setup for E400 4MATIC
Hi fellas!
Does anyone know if it's okay to run a staggered setup for E400 "4MATIC"?
My rim comes with 245/40/18 as stock but I'm thinking about going an inch bigger to 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. 0.99% variance diff. I did my homework
So I thought it would be ok.
However, mb website says don't do it when I check it with my VIN saying "This accessory model cannot be used in conjunction with your vehicle owing to technical restrictions regarding model year, equipment or engine."
I am not sure if it will mess up my differential or transfer case. Any advice will be really welcomed!
Also, I will appreciate any suggestions for new rims.
My VIN decoder says that I have "AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-Speed Sport Transmission"

as long as you do your homework and order the correct wheels, they should fit just fine. I run staggered(245/35 and 285/30 19's) on my 2012 4matic 550. No issues yet, save for a little "self-clearancing" of the inner rear bumper mounting lip...lol 285's are too wide. I'll go 275 next time.
