Does GLE450 have staggered tire sizes?

Placed order today for GLE450 with standard 19" wheels, but unable to tell tire sizes from DOG. Can someone who has this setup tell me if it has staggered tire sizes? What size front and rear?

Mojave Silver, Macchiato/Magma Grey leather, Dark Grey Linden Wood, DAO, DA2, DA3, DA4, DB0, DB8, DC5, DP1


Thanks

Found the answer in the DOG, 255/50 X R19 tires all around--good news, I like to rotate the tires each 5,000 miles.

You can also get the 20" non-staggered if you notice. I would highly recommend the 50Rs. The 19" tires are undersized for some reason (almost 2" smaller in OD than the 20s).

The annoying thing I see with the 20" wheel option is that although the tires are not staggered, the offset (ET) is.
Why would they do this if they recommend rotating the wheels front/back/side/side ?

I don't think many will dismount/remount+balance tires, just to respect the front and rear offsets. IIt's a waste of money.

That is odd. And the thing is no one, including most tire shops, is going to realize this and wheels are going to end up on the wrong end. Personally, on my MLs I never found rotating of any great advantage.

I can only guess maybe accommodating the range of 8" - 11" on the rear led to this particular hob placement.
